Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson were the big winners at the Academy of Country Music Awards, with Ella taking home five awards and Lainey winning four. Their songs “weren’t for the wind” and “4x4xU” were particularly successful. Other notable winners included Old Dominion and Brooks & Dunn for Group and Duo of the Year respectively. Surprises came from artists like Morgan Wallen and Kelsea Ballerini missing out on awards despite their impact on the country music scene. The event featured performances from Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire, among others.
