Big congratulations go out to Miranda Lambert on being the most-nominated artist for the upcoming ACM Awards, with eight nominations! In addition to the top prize of Entertainer of the Year, Miranda is also up for Album of the Year — for Platinum — as well as Female Vocalist of the Year, an award that she’s now won a record-breaking five consecutive times. Her other nods include Single Record of the Year and Song of the Year (where she’s double nominated as artist and songwriter), all for her song “Automatic,” and Miranda and Carrie Underwood are sharing nominations for Video and Vocal Event of the Year for their duet, “Somethin’ Bad.” But long before she became a hot nominee and an 18-time ACM Award winner herself, Miranda told us awhile back that she used to love to tune-in to award shows and predict the winners! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Don’t miss your chance to tune-in and test your own award predictions when the 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards airs Sunday, April 19th, from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, at 8pm live ET/delayed PT on CBS.
• Miranda is new on the radio with “Little Red Wagon,” the latest single from her ACM Album of the Year nominee, Platinum!

  As a fan, Miranda Lambert loved to watch the big award shows. (:11)
“I used to watch all the award shows. I would get a yellow tablet and write down all the nominees and circle who I thought was gonna win. And sit in front of the TV and, like, bet myself on if I was right or not.” (laughs)
