Blake Shelton has named himself head coach for #TeamMiranda and is trying to get his wife Miranda Lambert the win for ACM Entertainer of the Year.
Miranda is in the category along with Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line. The category is one of two that fans get to help decide by casting votes at VoteACM.com. (The other category is New Artist of the Year with finalists Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell.)
Blake has decided to do what he can to help his wife win the biggest award of the 50th ACM Awards this Sunday night. One of the ways he is helping is by trying to rally his 11.8 million followers on Twitter to cast votes for Miranda.
