American Country Awards

The 2013 American Country Awards nominees (aka the ACAs) have been announced, and it's Taylor Swift who is leading the charge and reigning supreme with a whopping eight nominations this year.

It's a surprising, yet very intriguing combination. Country crooner Trace Adkins and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick are teaming up to host the fourth annual American Country Awards on Fox.

The 2012 American Country Awards were Monday night (Dec. 10), and while the show has improved each year in the three since its introduction to Fox, there is still some room for growth. The support from superstars like Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum proves the show is being embraced by the country music community. With a few tweaks -- some major, some minor -- it could be received with open arms

Luke Bryan opened the 2012 American Country Awards performances with a 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' rendition that got the star-studded crowd to its feet. Throughout the rest of the two-hour Fox broadcast, they'd rise again often to show appreciation for Rascal Flatts, Jake Owen, Little Big Town and many others.

While there were a few fashion duds, there were more than enough fashion studs and beauty queens to make a seat along the 2012 American Country Awards red carpet quite a find. The stars on this Best Dressed list didn't drape themselves in formal wear like they do at other award shows.

While a few stars dolled up for the 2012 American Country Awards on Monday night (Dec. 10), plenty of others went casual... too casual. The men on this list of the Worst Dressed at the 2012 ACAs all have denim in common, while the women who got our heads shaking chose daring dresses that looked stolen from the set of the next 'Spider Man' movie.

Lady Antebellum closed out the 2012 American County Awards on Monday night (Dec. 10) with their fun and festive version of 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),' marking the first time we got to see singer Hillary Scott perform since announcing her pregnancy. She is already showing, and she absolutely glows.

Lady Antebellum might have won Group of the Year at the 2012 American Country Awards, but Little Big Town actually owned the night when it came to performing onstage. The group turned in a top-notch rendition of their current single 'Tornado' that stood head and shoulders above most of the night's performances.

Keith Urban took the stage to play the blues anthem 'Crossroads' with some very talented -- and younger -- friends at the 2012 American Country Awards in Las Vegas on Monday (Dec. 10.) He was joined by Grammy camp artists (aka the future of American music).

In order to honor the ultimate 2012 American Country Awards artist, Jewel and her husband, bull rider Ty Murray, took to the stage to announce the Artist of the Year winner. It's been such a great year for country music that it was kind of difficult to guess which artist would snag the coveted guitar award.
