Trace Adkins at the Nightly Concert on the Vault Concert Stage LP Field Saturday, June 7 in Downtown Nashville during the 2008 CMA Music Festival.
Sept. 25, 2008 — Trace Adkins introduced himself to an entirely new audience this year when he appeared on Donald Trump’s reality series "The Celebrity Apprentice," lasting all the way to the finals, where he was finally upended by TV personality Piers Morgan.
Yet as well as Trace performed on the show, he’s not too cool on the idea of a reality show about his homelife in Nashville.
"That's been brought up, and I just don't know that I could do [something with] that kind of exposure on that personal of a level," he told Dial-Global. "I just don't know if I could do that. It would be crazy anyway... but I do have the perfect family for it. I mean, with five daughters, there is drama in my house on a daily basis. You cannot live with six women and there not be drama."
Trace has his own drama playing out. He’s nominated for the first time in 10 years in the 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards, which will be presented Nov. 12. He’s up for Single and Music Video of the Year, for "You’re Gonna Miss This," which also picked up a Song of the Year nod for songwriters Lee Thomas Miller and Ashley Gorley.
Meanwhile, fellow "Celebrity Apprentice" alum Stephen Baldwin appears in Trace’s latest video, "Muddy Water." And Trace has a role in the satirical movie An American Carol, in theaters Oct. 3.
