Some 2025 ACM Awards winners have been announced, and the names include the most beloved artists from across decades of country music.
Ella Langley and Zach Top both went into the show as early winners; she won New Female Artist of the Year in the days leading up to the show, while he learned he’d won New Male Artist of the Year early, too.
Langley led the ACM Awards nominees in 2025 with eight nominations overall, six of which were for “You Look Like You Love Me,” her smash duet with Riley Green. The other is in the New Female Artist of the Year category.
