Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Cole Swindell are also up for a number of trophies at the ACM Awards, which will air on Prime Video on May 11
The nominations are in for the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards!
The annual show, hosted this year by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, announced the stars vying for trophies on Thursday, and the star-studded lineup includes heavyweights like Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton.
"Wait in the Truck" singer HARDY is the most-nominated artist of the night with seven nods, including song of the year and artist-songwriter of the year. He shares three of his nominations with Lainey Wilson, who is nominated for six awards.
Trailing them are Kane Brown, Combs, Lambert and Cole Swindell, who are each up for five different awards.
Lambert, who won the coveted Triple Crown Award last year, is up for female artist of the year for a record-breaking 17th time; this year's nomination pushes her past Reba McEntire's 16 nods in the category.
If either Combs or Stapleton take home entertainer of the year, they too will be Triple Crown winners, which means an artist has won entertainer of the year, new artist and artist of the year.
