Tyler tells Billboard, “Taylor Swift, Jake Owen and Luke Bryan allowed us into their world and we stood beside the stage every night and took notes. We learned a lot from all those artists. It’s important for an artist to soak in everything you can.”
That studying paid off: Florida Georgia Line is one of the five nominees for Entertainer of the Year at the 50th Annual ACM Awards, airing live Sunday, April 19 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Fan voting in that category is now open at VoteACM.com.
