Looks like Blake Shelton won't be able to make it to next year's Academy of Country Music Awards. He hosted ACM this year alongside Luke Bryan. News emerged that Shelton stepped down and left Bryan in search of a new co-host. His reason for leaving wasn't stated, but fans are a bit bummed that they won't be able to witness the goofy ACM host.
Blake may have left the show, but Bryan has ample of time to look for a new co-host as the awards would take place April of next year. However, it only took Bryan a couple of months to find a new replacement.
The upcoming awards night is supposedly the third year of Bryan and Shelton to work as co-hosts. As for next year's AMC awards, Dierks Bentley will be the one to work with Bryan.
