The one and only Keith Urban is set to be honored with the prestigious ACM Triple Crown Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards on May 8th. This highly coveted award is a testament to Urban's incredible career, signifying his wins in three major categories: Best New Artist, Top Artist (specifically Male Artist of the Year), and the coveted Entertainer of the Year.
This places Urban in an elite club, and marks the first time the Triple Crown has been awarded during the live telecast since the incomparable Carrie Underwood received the honor back in 2010. That's right, it's been over a decade since we've seen an artist achieve this monumental feat on the ACM stage!
Urban's journey to the Triple Crown includes his win for Top New Male Vocalist in 2001, multiple Male Vocalist of the Year trophies in 2005 and 2006, and the night's biggest prize, Entertainer of the Year, in 2019. It's a remarkable trajectory showcasing his enduring talent and connection with fans.
Adding to the excitement, the ceremony will feature special tribute performances by country stars Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, and Brothers Osborne, celebrating Urban's extensive catalog of hits. It's sure to be a memorable night honoring a true country music icon!
