Country music's finest shined bright last night at the ACM Awards, and while many walked away with hardware, a few names truly stole the show. Topping the list is the undeniable force of nature, Lainey Wilson! In a night that solidified her place at the pinnacle of the genre, Wilson snagged the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, alongside Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for her hit record, "Whirlwind." Talk about a clean sweep!   

But the future of country is also looking incredibly bright, thanks to breakout artist Ella Langley. Langley had a massive night, taking home the New Female Artist of the Year award. She also celebrated multiple wins with Riley Green for their smash hit collaboration, "You Look Like You Love Me," proving that this pairing is pure gold, earning trophies for Single, Music Event, and Visual Media of the Year.   

A huge congratulations as well to Chris Stapleton for his well-deserved win for Male Artist of the Year, and to Cody Johnson, who took home the Song of the Year award for his powerful track, "Dirt Cheap."   

Also, we gotta tip the cap to Zach Top who took home Best New Male Artist and The Red Clay Strays who got New Duo or Group of the Year.  Long time champs Brooks & Dunn and Old Dominion again won Best Duo and Group respectively.

All in all, it was a night of incredible talent and well-deserved recognition, showcasing the vibrant heart of country music!
