After the ACM Award nominations were announced, stars were quick to react to hearing their names called.
Randy Houser is nominated for Video of the Year for “Boots On.”
“This is pretty cool to be acknowledged by the ACM’s like this. ‘Boots On’ was a big song for me and the video was a big part of it. That video could have stood on its own as a YouTube phenomenon and it would have been awesome; I just got lucky enough that Drake was singing my song. To receive this much national recognition for it is more than I ever dreamed of.”
Darius Rucker is nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year.
“My management called and told me to turn on the TV to The Early Show, and I couldn’t believe they read my name. I feel so blessed to have been embraced and considered a contender in this format. I’m in the same category as George Strait, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, and Kenny Chesney. Wow.”
Lady Antebellum nabbed 7 nominations, and they took to their Twitter to respond.

Taylor Swift was nominated for Video, Female Vocalist, & Entertainer of the Year, and Tweeted her joy.
Getting ready in my room, singing my thoughts. Super annoying new habit of mine. Today it’s “I love ACM nominations I love ACM nominations”.
David Nail Tweeted his excitement over his nomination for “Red Light.”
