ACM Awards: See Full Winners List
Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley were the night’s biggest winners at Thursday’s ACM Awards.
The ceremony at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, honored the biggest names in country music over the last year. Wilson won four awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year for Whirlwind, Female Artist of the Year, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year.
The “Watermelon Moonshine” singer is the first woman to win two consecutive Entertainer of the Year awards since Taylor Swift accomplished it in 2009-2010. She’s also the first to win three straight Female Artist of the Year awards since Miranda Lambert did it nine times in a row from 2010-2018.
“I’m sure everybody [has felt] a little bit of impostor syndrome,” Wilson stated. “I won’t lie to you, I have a little bit.”
Langley won five awards, four of which were for her duet with Riley Green, “you look like you love me.” The song won Single of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year as both an artist and a director. She also won New Female Artist of the Year.
Chris Stapleton won Male Artist of the Year for the fifth time, and Jessie Jo Dillon won Songwriter of the Year. Old Dominion earned its eighth Group of the Year award in a row. They broke the tie with Rascal Flatts for most wins in the category.
Brooks & Dunn won Duo of the Year for the seventeenth time. This is the first time they’ve won the award since 2010. Zach Top won New Male Artist of the Year, and The Red Clay Strays earned New Duo or Group of the Year. “Dirt Cheap,” sung by Cody Johnson and written by Josh Phillips, won Song of the Year.
Two honorary awards were presented at the ceremony. Keith Urban received the Triple Crown award for artists who have won Entertainer of the Year, their respective artist of the year category, and Album of the Year. Alan Jackson took home the Lifetime Achievement Award and was granted a brand new award named after him, the Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award.
