If you’ve ever dreamed of rubbing elbows with country royalty while downing BBQ in cowboy boots, keep May 16 open.
Because guess what’s boot-scootin’ back into town? Yep. The Academy of Country Music Awards is making its grand return to Frisco, Texas — and no, you don’t have to be a diehard country fan to get the chills.
If you’re into sequins, southern charm, or just love watching emotional people thank their moms on stage, this is your Super Bowl.
Now, if you’re wondering whether this year’s show is worth the hype…
Let me put it this way:
🎤 Imagine Tim McGraw-level legends AND the TikTok-famous newbies sharing one stage.
🎤 Imagine acceptance speeches with just the right amount of ugly crying.
🎤 Imagine Frisco transformed into Nashville’s cooler, flashier cousin for one electric night.
That’s what’s going down on May 16.
And let’s talk about Frisco. It’s not just hosting. It’s serving. This little entertainment powerhouse has been climbing the charts faster than a Luke Combs single. With its artsy buzz and Texas-size hospitality, Frisco isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a co-star.
Now here’s the juicy part:
If you thought the ACMs were going to play it safe again this year, think again. After years of “let’s just Zoom it in” pandemic-mode awards, this show is going full glam, full crowd, full everything. No buffering. No awkward silences. Just real music, real talent, real everything.
And if you’re a local?
Oh honey. Buckle up. Hotels are already prepping for the stampede. Restaurants? Rolling out the specials. That dusty “Y’all come back now” sign? Getting a fresh coat of paint. The city’s about to cash in on a major glow-up, and it knows it.
As for the awards themselves — if you care about who wins “Entertainer of the Year” or “Best New Artist,” stay tuned. The nominations are dropping soon, and you know Twitter’s gonna turn into a honky-tonk warzone.
Can’t make it to Frisco? No worries. You can still watch the whole shebang from your couch in your pajamas with a bowl of queso. Just don’t be surprised if you end up crying when someone dedicates their award to their late grandma and small-town roots. Happens every year.
So here’s the deal.
If you’ve got even a flicker of country in your soul (or just love a good show), May 16 isn’t just a Thursday. It’s a front-row seat to the heart and grit of country music — and Frisco is where the boots hit the red carpet.
But if you miss it?
Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you when your group chat is blowing up with “DID YOU SEE THAT DUET?!”
