CBS will air The 10th Annual ACM Honors on Friday, September 9 at 9pm right after the telethon Stand Up to Cancer. The event recognizes special honorees and off-camera-category winners from the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards. Many of the on-camera-category winners will perform including Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, and Shelton’s new co-worker Alicia Keys. (Keys is replacing Pharrell Williams on The Voice.)
[Maren Morris’ debut album “Hero” includes her hit song “My Church”]
Just days before the ACM Honors event, Alicia Keys took to Twitter to give a shout out to the young Texan singer Maren Morris, 26, who’s been nominated for many ACM Awards. Keys wrote: “MarenMorris was born with some SERIOUS soul! Congrats to my new friend on racking up #CMAawards noms!!” Keys also shared a photo of Keys and Morris together on stage on CMT’s Crossroads in Nashville. See below.
