When the Academy of Country Music celebrated the 50th anniversary of its annual awards, it went to the place that does everything big and held the event at the then-new AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This year, the annual event will be back in the greater Dallas area, but this time on the grounds where the Cowboys do their between-games work. In addition to the location change, this year’s show gets a little update in the sense that last year’s host Dolly Parton will now have a co-host who’s almost as famous as she is in the form of a Nineties icon. Like last year, CBS has still declined to renew its contract to broadcast the ACM Awards, with ceremonies again being a streaming-only event in conjunction with Amazon Prime.
