March 30, 2009 — With "Last Call" currently ranked at No. 9 on GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown, Lee Ann Womack is a nominee for Sunday's 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
She's in the running for Top Female Vocalist against Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and Heidi Newfield, but she's not all that concerned about winning. Lee Ann's taken home five ACM trophies during her career but finds the nomination is actually sweeter.
"I love being nominated for anything anytime," Lee Ann says. "I've always been more happy with the nomination than I was with the win. I think it's because the win comes and goes so quickly, but the nomination — you get nominated, and then it's a couple of months until the awards show where you're part of everybody's shows that they're doing. So I've always liked being nominated."=2 0
Hopefully Lee Ann likes performing on awards shows, too, because she's slated to appear on Sunday's CBS telecast from Las Vegas along with Jamey Johnson, John Rich, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts and host Reba McEntire, among others. Lee Ann also takes part the next day in the taping of George Strait: Artist Of The Decade, An All Star Concert Special, slated to air May 27.
One other awards event where Lee Ann was recently spotted: the first-ever T.J. Martell Honors Gala in Nashville. Lee Ann joined Michael Bolton, Caitlin & Will and Boyz II Men in performing during the event, which raised a whopping $400,000 for AIDS, leukemia and cancer research.
