ACM Awards 2026 Winners — Full List ‣ Diverse Daily

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.
