The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards ceremony is fast approaching and the nominees for each category have now been revealed (February 13).

This year's event is due to take place in Las Vegas on April 7 at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena and singer-songwriter Eric Church has the most nods after it was announced that he is up for 7 prizes.

Hunter Hayes, who performed briefly at last weekend's GRAMMY Awards, has 6 nominations and blonde bombshells Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert have earned themselves 5 nods apiece.

Swift has been recognised in the categories of Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist, Album of the Year for 'Red', and Video of the Year for 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'.

'The House That Built Me' beauty Lambert is also in the running for Entertainer of the Year and Female Vocalist, and she tweeted about her nominations this afternoon: "ACM's! I'm so happy to be nominated! The butterflies are always there when the names are being announced. I feel so blessed. Celebrating!"
