Who's The Hottest -- '26 ACMA

[Tom McAndrew]

The 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards took place last weekend. Now you get to pick which attendees were the hottest. As always, you get 3 picks, you can change your vote after you've voted, and you have to vote to see the results. And as always, I encourage you to post how you voted in a reply, and when you do so, identify by name who you voted for (as opposed to #2, #7, #9).

Also, a reminder that if you don't care for any of the attendees, or their outfits, that's great. Please keep those comments to yourself. The event polls are limited as to who attendees, the pictures taken (and posted), etc.

1. MŌRIAH

2. Mackenzie Carpenter

3. Shania Twain

4. Avery Anna

5. Carter Faith

6. Lainey Wilson

7. Sydney Thomas

8. Kelsea Ballerini

9. Dasha

10. Hannah Godwin

That's not really Shania Twain, right?

 

[stater02]

Based on the pictures. it’s Ballerini for me. But after watching the show in its entirety and seeing her performance, I’d like to write in a candidate: Kacey Musgraves.

Kacey has more talent than that group combined. Authentic.

Admittedly there are a few on the list that I don’t know. Laney is incredibly talented, although she does occasionally sound a bit too much like a Dolly. Not that this is a bad thing, but you feel like you’ve heard it before, because you have.

 

[BobPSU92]

Sydney Thomas. Jesus.

3. Lainey

I used to love Shania but wtf? She looks like a different person. I’ll never understand why already beautiful women feel the need to so completely change their faces etc.

 

[Ghost of OM]

My write in candidate. Ella Langley.

 

[retsio]

Shania is a has, very has been. Who is and where has Sydney Thomas been hiding - push those jugs up some more.

Kelsea is the only vote.

Finally a great list. So nice!

Voted for #5 Carter Faith. Don’t understand your request that people who may not like any should refrain from saying so.

1. Hannah Woodwin for the win.
2. Kasey Balllerini for the dance.
3. Sydney Thomas for the show.

I am wondering who measured Sydney for her top. Maybe a little small, must have been a bust out performance. Whoops, should have been a Good win.

My write in candidate. Ella Langley.

LOL. She was in the poll when I was putting it together. Generally, I look at pictures posted from an event, and see if I have around 10 pics that are worthy of a poll. For awhile, I had my doubts if there were enough from the ACMA. But I kept checking additional sites, and eventually decided I had at least 10 pics worthy of inclusion. Then I just add the pics as I get to them from the site/article I'm using. After I had put the poll together, but before I posted it, I decided to check one last site/article to see if there were any great poll-worthy ladies that I was missing, and found several more pics that hadn't been in any of the others sites/articles I had previously checked. I decided to remove Ella and replace her with Sydney Thomas, because 1) Ella has a lot of tattoos on her right arm and I'm never a fan of tattoos, and 2) Sydney had quite a set of lungs.

 

[Rick76]

None of the above.

You're not really hot unless you have multiple piercings, purple hair, black lip gloss, teased eyelashes, face tattoos and are wearing a dress with political slogans.

Can’t argue with anything you said there and usually tats are a no go for me too but….on Ella, I’ll make my one and only exception.

Stealing my girl, AGAIN!

3 thumbs up Tom

 

[Midnighter]

Thomas
Godwin
Wilson

Thomas is a ringer though because she’s not a country singer (or is she now?). Still, solid poll!

 

[Nitt1300]

cowboy boots with an evening gown- not a good look
