Newcomers and longtime country favorites walked away with the industry’s top honors. Here’s a look at who won big.

This year’s Academy of Country Music awards has been inredibly favorable for female atists.Ella Langley emerged as the standout star at the 60th ACM Awards, securing five awards in her first year of nomination, making her the winningest artist of the night. Her accolades included ACM New Female Artist of the Year, and for her collaboration with Riley Green on you look like you love me, she won ACM Single of the Year, ACM Music Event of the Year, and ACM Visual Media of the Year as both artist and producer. Overwhelmed with joy, Langley shared she was “on cloud nine” by the end of the evening.

Lainey Wilson continued her reign, clinching ACM Entertainer of the Year for the second consecutive year, joining Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood as the only women to achieve this back-to-back feat. She also secured her third straight ACM Female Artist of the Year, her second ACM Album of the Year, and her first ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year, bringing her total ACM Awards to sixteen. Accepting her Female Artist award, Wilson celebrated the camaraderie among her peers, noting how “the girls are kicking down some barn doors” in the industry.

The night also honored other luminaries, with Alan Jackson receiving the inaugural Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award for his monumental contributions, boasting over 75 million records sold and 35 No. 1 singles. Brooks & Dunn reclaimed ACM Duo of the Year, their 17th win in the category, while Old Dominion extended their record with an eighth consecutive ACM Group of the Year.

Chris Stapleton, Jessie Jo Dillon, and newcomers Cody Johnson, Zach Top, and The Red Clay Strays also celebrated victories, with Riley Green earning three awards alongside Langley for their hit collaboration.
