NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Luke Bryan just keeps getting hotter.

The rising country music star is the lead nominee for this year's American Country Awards with seven. He beat out established stars like Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum in a field announced Wednesday morning.

Lady A and Zac Brown Band are next with six nominations apiece, while Eric Church and Swift took five nods each for the third annual fan-voted awards.
