Donderdagavond zijn tijdens de Academy Of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas, de winnaars in de diverse categorieën bekendgemaakt.
HARDY en Lainey Wilson wonnen de meeste prijzen bij de ACM Awards met vier, maar Chis Stapleton won de grootste, Entertainer Of The Year.
HARDY had de meeste nominaties en won Artist-Songwriter Of The Year en Visual Media Of The Year en Music Event Of The Year, beide voor “Wait In The Truck” met Wilson. De Music Event Award ging ook naar Producers: Derek Wells, Joey Moi, Jordan Schmidt en het label Big Loud Records.
Wilson won ook Female Artist Of The Year en “Album Of The Year voor “Bell Bottom Country”.
Een afwezige Morgan Wallen won Male Artist Of The Year. Wallen was niet aanwezig bij de uitreiking, omdat hij zes weken stemrust heeft vanwege een verrekking van zijn stembanden.

Cole Swindell won twee onderscheidingen – Single Of The Year en Song Of The Year – beide voor “She Had Me At Heads Carolina”.
