"It just feels like we're getting to do the ACMs for real again, because the last two years have been Covid, so, it's nice to be back in Vegas," she said. It's gonna be fun. The stadium is beautiful, it's big, so, it's gonna be a first time for everything on this one."The new parents have had major success on joint tracks like "Chasing After You," and while they don't have a duet in the works, Morris tells ET that Hurd is "all over" her upcoming album, Humble Quest."Maybe we'll do another duet someday, but he actually is all over my album," Morris revealed. He is singing and writing all the songs. so, it kinda feels like in any capacity, we're gonna be collaborating, no matter what, and you know, we're married and have a child."Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesMorris, who is performing at the 57th annual awards show, is ready to drop the album, so ready in fact that she told ET, she's ready to "give birth to it." "It's been a long time coming," she said.

"He got his first pair of cowboy boots this week, so, he's feeling sassy.""He's precious," she continued. "He's honestly the sweetest kid. I don't know how we got so lucky with such a sweet baby, but he is."The 57th Academy of Country Music Awards is streaming live on Prime Video on March 7 at 8: 00 p.m. ET.
