Chris Young is the leading nominee at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards…

When Chris found out he had 7 nominations he admitted, “I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it a little. And just like blown away. This is a whole new ACM experience for me, for sure. “

Then Chris realized he might have some good karma going into tonight’s ACM Awards as there seems to be a lot of natural connections to his lucky number, “So my lucky number is seven. It’s the 57th ACM Awards, seven nominations, and it’s on the 7th. So, I’m gonna count those 3 sevens as good luck, ’cause in Vegas that pays out pretty good.”

While Chris is nominated with his buddy Kane Brown for Single, Video and Music Event Of The Year for their hit “Famous Friends” – Chris will also be performing “At The End Of A Bar” with Mitchell Tenpenny – his latest single from his ACM nominated album, Famous Friends.
