The American Country Music Awards will take place on May 11, 2023, for its 58th year.
Whiteside was not being dramatic when he referred to Parton and Brooks as a “legendary pair.”
These two beloved country stars are world-renowned for their innovative contributions to the music genre.

Brooks holds the title of the best-selling solo artist in the U.S. (via Billboard).
Meanwhile, in 2021, Parton was named byTimeas one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
However, until the 2023 ACM Award Show, these paths never seemingly intersected.

Although, they never had time to talk in depth.
Regardless, they’ve always been fond of one another.
Like the rest of the world, Brooks seems to look up to Parton.
He confessed toET Online, “I’m nervous to stand next to her.
She’s so approachable but yet she seems untouchable, right?
Because, I mean, she’s just a goddess, c’mon.”
The two appear to hold a great amount of respect and amazement for one another.
We expect they will make an incredibly warm and entertaining duo at this year’s ACM Award show.
