The biggest names in country music came together to celebrate the best and brightest stars of the genre on Monday at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards.

Going into this year’s show — which was hosted by Dolly Parton, Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett — Chris Young led the pack with seven nominations to his name! Miranda Lambert, the most-nominated female artist in ACM history, earned five nominations, including a record-tying 16th nod in Female Artist of the Year category.

Actress Blake Lively also earned two nominations — her first nods at a music awards show — for producing and directing Taylor Swift’s music video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version).”
