\n\tLainey Wilson<\/a> and Ella Langley were the big winners at the 2025 ACM Awards, which were held on Thursday (May 8) at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Wilson won four awards, including entertainer of the year and album of the year. Langley won five, including four for \u201cyou look like you love me,\u201d her flirty duet with Riley Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson won entertainer of the year for the second year in a row. She\u2019s the first person to win back-to-back awards in that top category since Jason Aldean scored a threepeat from 2016-18. She\u2019s the first woman to win back-to-back awards for entertainer of the year since Taylor Swift achieved the feat in 2009-10.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson also won album of the year for Whirlwind<\/em>. She also won for her previous studio album, Bell Bottom Country<\/em>. She\u2019s the seventh artist in ACM history to win for back-to-back studio albums (whether they won the ACMs in consecutive years or not). Miranda Lambert won with five consecutive studio albums. Chris Stapleton won with two consecutive studio albums \u2013 and he did that twice. Winning with two consecutive studio albums once were Alabama, Alan Jackson, George Strait and The Chicks.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson won female artist of the year for the third year in a row. She\u2019s the first artist to achieve that feat since Lambert won nine years in a row from 2010-18. Wilson\u2019s fourth award was for artist-songwriter of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tLangley and Green won in three categories for their hit \u201cyou look like you love me.\u201d The duet won single of the year, music event of the year and visual media of the year. (Langley won two awards in the visual media category, as both artist and one of the directors.) Oddly, they didn\u2019t perform the song on the show, perhaps because they performed it on the CMA Awards in November. Langley\u2019s fifth award on the night was new female artist of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tHosted by Reba McEntire<\/a>, the ACM Awards streamed live on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere are other acts that made history at the ACM Awards:<\/p>\n

\n\tOld Dominion<\/a> won group of the year for the eighth year in a row, which allowed them to break out of a tie with Rascal Flatts for the most wins in the history of that category. By coincidence, Rascal Flatts was among the nominees this year. Old Dominion\u2019s eight-year winning streak is the longest in any category since Lambert won female artist of the year nine years in a row from 2010-18.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrooks & Dunn<\/a> won duo of the year for the first time since 2010. The award had gone back and forth between Dan + Shay and Brothers Osborne for the past eight years. This extends Brooks & Dunn\u2019s record number of wins in this category to 17. Brooks & Dunn won duo of the year at last year\u2019s CMA Awards, setting the stage for this win.<\/p>\n

\n\tChris Stapleton<\/a> won male artist of the year for the fifth time, which puts him in a four-way tie with Merle Haggard, George Strait and Brad Paisley for the most wins in the history of the category.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDirt Cheap,\u201d written by Josh Phillips and recorded by Cody Johnson, won song of the year. It\u2019s the first song written by a solitary songwriter to win since Jennifer Nettles\u00a0won for \u201cStay\u201d in 2008. Just one other song written by just one writer has won since 2000: Alan Jackson\u2019s \u201cWhere Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)\u201d in 2002.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoreover, \u201cDirt Cheap\u201d is the first song in 11 years that was not written or co-written by the artist to in in this category. The last was \u201cI Drive Your Truck,\u201d written by Jessi Alexander, Connie Harrington and\u00a0Jimmy Yeary, and recorded by Lee Brice.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously announced, Zach Top won for new male artist of the year; The Red Clay Strays for new duo or group of the year; and Jessie Jo Dillon for songwriter of the year. This was the second year in a row that Dillon, the daughter of songwriting great Dean Dillon, has won in that category. She is the fourth two-time winner in that category, following Dallas Davidson, Shane McAnally and Hillary Lindsey.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo non-competitive awards were also presented \u2013 a lifetime achievement award to Alan Jackson and a Triple Crown award to Keith Urban (signifying that he has won a new artist of the year award; an award for male, female, duo or group of the year; and entertainer of the year).<\/p>\n

\n\tMorgan Wallen, Post Malone and Kelsea Ballerini were completely shut out, despite going into the show with a total of 16 nominations between them \u2013 seven for Wallen, five for Posty and four for Ballerini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
