Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson were the big winners at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday night (May 16).
The ceremony, which streamed live on Prime Video from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, saw Stapleton pick up three trophies, including his eighth Album of the Year award, while Wilson also took home three trophies, including Entertainer of the Year.
Wilson also won Female Artist of the Year and Music Event of the Year alongside Jelly Roll for their track “Save Me.” She’s won a total of ten ACM awards over her career and now qualifies for the coveted ACM Triple Crown Award (meaning she’s won New Female Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year).
Stapleton’s other wins came for Male Artist of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year, his first win in the category. Overall, Stapleton has won a total of 20 ACM awards over this career.
Elsewhere, Old Dominion picked up the trophy for Group of the Year, The Voice coaches Dan + Shay won Duo of the Year, Megan Moroney took the prize for New Female Artist of the Year, and Nate Smith grabbed the award for New Male Artist of the Year.
