Country music darling and singer-songwriter Ella Langley swept tonight’s 61st Academy of Country Music Awards with seven trophies, winning all of her categories. The “Choosin’ Texas” artist took home major awards at the fete, including Female Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (Artist and Songwriter nominations), Single of the Year (Artist and Producer nominations), Music Event of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year.
However, the Entertainer of the Year award went to Cody Johnson, for which Langley did not score a nomination. Johnson triumphed over fellow nominees Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson.
The 61st ACM Awards, hosted by Shania Twain, streamed live exclusively for a global audience on Prime Video on Sunday, May 17 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
