The Academy of Country Music will give special honors to a few people that include Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift among others. This will happen on a completely different ceremony than the ACM Awards.

The Outspoken One will receive the Jim Reeves International Award that is given for contributions to the acceptance of country music around the world. The ceremony, ACM Honors, is not part of the CBS telecast on April 3 but a separate date later in the year, yet to be announced. You can read the original article on CMT.com.
