I think if that happens an earlier year, maybe Dasha wins it then.

Mackenzie Carpenter, also very talented.

I think Avery Anna is my pick.

And I think I have some bias coming through here.

But not only is she a really good writer, she's a really good live performer.

She's had songs go viral.

In this land, there's a lot of equality here because these are all really tremendous, most of them.

They play instruments, they sing, they write.

I'm going to pick Avery Anna here because I think most people probably know her more than the others, except for Dasha.

And Dasha's just been around a long time.

That would be almost like me winning rookie radio person of the year.

I've been around for a while.

Next up, new male artist of the year.

A bit similar.

And I think the rule is, and I can have my guys fact check me on this.

To be a new artist of the year means you just haven't been nominated for any of the other awards.

You're still a new artist in the category because I know talking to Mitchell Tenpenny, who was nominated for, even Justin Moore won it, and he had had like six or seven years in back in the day.

I think the rule is as long as you haven't been nominated for another ACM, you can still be considered a new artist.

So I'll have them look that up.

And as that, I'll do new male artists.
