Reba McEntire has been set to host the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, set for May 8, 2025 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. For McEntire, it marks a back-to-back return to the ACM stage after hosting last year’s event, and her 18th time at the helm of the kudocast overall.
“We’re excited to honor and celebrate the legacy of the ACM Awards all year long surrounding the 60th anniversary show returning to Amazon Prime Video next May,” said Academy of Country Music CEO Damon Whiteside. “Reba McEntire has hosted more ACM Awards shows than any other artist in history, and after her triumphant return this year for the 59th show, there is clearly no one better suited to helm this milestone show. Our landmark 50th anniversary show in 2015 marked our debut in Texas, and we’re thrilled to return again to celebrate another major moment in ACM history.”
