Reba McEntire, who is hosting next month’s ACM Awards, says it would have been nice to see some female names on the list of Entertainer of the Year nominations.
“It's disappointing that there's no female in the Entertainer of the Year category," she told ET. “But the country music business is very cyclical. It'll go very traditional with the music, or it will go very contemporary.
“The girls dominate or the boys dominate. So, it's coming around. I have faith.”
Nominees in the category are Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton and Keith Urban.

McEntire is up for Female Vocalist of the Year against Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini.
“There's so many great entertainers and singers that are female,” she said.
The ACM Awards will be handed out in Las Vegas on April 15. Canada's High Valley is up for New Vocal Duo or Group.
