CBS Television Network and the Academy of Country Music, as well as dick clark productions, will be teaming together to honor several country music women for an upcoming special, Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country. The country ladies being honored at this event include Jennifer Nettles, Reba, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride.
The taping will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, April 4, with an airtime on a later date. Tickets are currently on sale at ticketmaster for this one of a kind event. Prices are $100, $150 and $200, and all proceeds will go toward ACM Lifting Lives.
The concept behind Girls’ Night Out is to feature the top women performers in country music, while paying tribute to today’s country music female artists. The women of the night have each received special and unique praises from the Academy for their own successes throughout their careers.
Jennifer Nettles is being recognized for one of two female artists in history of the Academy to solo write and perform Song of the Year (2007, “Stay”).
Reba is to be honored for winning Top Female Vocalist the most times (7 wins) out of any artist in the history of the Academy.
Miranda Lambert will be honored for being the only female artist to ever win Album of the Year – twice. (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” 2007; “Revolution,” 2009).
Carrie Underwood is being recognized for being the only female artist in the Academy to ever win Entertainer of the Year – twice (2008, 2009).
Martina McBride will be recognized by ACM Lifting Lives for her dedication and hard work in raising social awareness through songs and music (“Independence Day,” “Concrete Angel,”), which bring awareness to domestic abuse and encourage female empowerment. McBride has also won Top Female Vocalist three times in the past (2001, 2002 and 2003).
