Reba McEntire is returning to the Academy of Country Music Awards to serve as host once again — and the country music icon is looking forward to the experience. McEntire recently sat down with ET’s Rachel Smith, where she dished on getting the chance to host the ACM Awards once more.

The Biden administration has taken action against TikTok. On April 24, 2024, President Joe Biden signed a law to ban the China-based social media app under parent company ByteDance in the U.S. if it’s not sold within a year, NPR reports. The move comes after the House of Representatives introduced in March the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which aims to “protect the national security of the United States from the threat posed by foreign adversary controlled applications,” as previously shared by AFROTECH™.
