Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer -- and ET has you covered for everything in between.

Nominations have been announced for the 60th ACM Awards. First time ACM nominee Ella Langley takes the lead with 8 nominations, followed by Cody Johnson (7), Morgan Wallen (7), Lainey Wilson (7), Chris Stapleton (6), Riley Green (5) and Post Malone (5). Kelsea Ballerini received her first ever Entertainer of the Year nomination and shared on Instagram that this nomination "has been one of my biggest dreams and goals from the very start of this journey. I feel so incredibly grateful, and I feel seen by the genre and community I love so dearly. This continues to feel like my ten year town year and I can't stop crying happy tears." Blake Shelton, Eric Church and Lainey Wilson have also been announced as the first performers. Reba is returning to host for the 18th time airing May 8 on Prime Video.

Miley Cyrus announced her new visual album, Something Beautiful will be out May 30. The album features 13 original tracks and was executive produced by Miley and Shawn Everett. The album artwork features Miley draped in archival 1997 Thierry Mugler couture, a nod to the album's bold aesthetic and visual storytelling. She also debuted the official trailer for the album and announced the album's accompanying visual film will be out in June.

Lady Gaga announced The MAYHEM Ball tour with dates across North America, Europe and the UK in support of her new album, MAYHEM. Gaga will kick off the tour on July 16 in Las Vegas. She said, "this is my first arena tour since 2018. There's something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience--something more intimate--closer, more connected--that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create."

Gracie Abrams and her all-female team were honored by She Is The Music at the Women Sharing The Spotlight event at The Peppermint Club on March 27 in Los Angeles. The evening celebrated 50 impactful women in the music industry, each of whom shared their spotlight with another woman in the business. She Is The Music co-founder Alicia Keys took the stage to introduce Gracie Abram and said, "When I found out that she has, like, 40 women who are a part of her team...this is the living embodiment. This all female led team is still an exception in this business, and this is a reminder that we belong at every table, and we should be leading every conversation." Gracie accepted the honor and said, "It's an interesting time to be a woman in America and I firmly believe that the way we survive and thrive is by leading together, by sticking our necks out for each other - especially when it's difficult - and by being in community as much as possible." Attendees also heard powerful remarks from Universal Music Publishing Group Chairman and CEO and She Is The Music co-founder Jody Gerson and She Is The Music Executive Director Michelle Yablans.
