McEntire has chosen not to return to the awards gala after 14 years as one of the show&amp;#039;s co-hosts, ACM spokesperson Bob Romeo has told The AP.   Romeo added that the ACM organization &amp;quot;fully understand[s] and support[s]&amp;quot; McEntire&amp;#039;s decision to focus on her new ABC sitcom Malibu Country. It is not yet clear if Shelton will host the 2013 ACMs solo or if he will have a new co-host. The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards will be held next spring in Las Vegas. Taylor Swift took home the &amp;#039;Entertainer of the Year&amp;#039; award at the 2012 ceremony, with Shelton being named &amp;#039;Male Vocalist of the Year&amp;#039; and Miranda Lambert taking &amp;#039;Female Vocalist of the Year&amp;#039;.
