The nominees for the 52nd ACM Awards were announced today (2/16) and some of the artists logged on to Twitter to express their feelings about the nominations.
For some of the artists getting nominations is nothing new. However, for many this is their first time to have their names included in the ACM nominees list. For example, Lauren Alaina‘s excitement and tears of joy over her first ACM nomination is heartwarming and sweet.
I have no doubt that every artist who received any nominations today is truly grateful for the acknowledgement of their hard work and dedication to country music.
Below are the posts to Twitter that I found this morning.
