Lainey Wilson's victory for ACM Entertainer of the Year not only marks her first win in this prestigious category but also earns her the esteemed ACM Triple Crown Award.
This accolade celebrates artists who have achieved success across multiple ACM categories, including New Artist, Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
Wilson's remarkable feat makes her the first woman in three years to accomplish the ACM Triple Crown Award, following her wins for New Female Artist of the Year in 2021, Female Artist of the Year in 2022 and 2023, and Entertainer of the Year in 2024.
She joins the ranks of iconic acts like The Chicks, who previously achieved this milestone from 1998 to 2000. With three wins tonight, Wilson's total ACM Awards count reaches an impressive 10.
Chris Stapleton emerged as the evening's most decorated artist, securing four wins. Notably, he clinched his eighth ACM Album of the Year award, four as an artist and four as a producer.
This achievement surpasses George Strait's record of seven wins in the category. Stapleton's victory for ACM Male Artist of the Year brings his total wins in the category to four, while his win for ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year marks his first triumph in this category. With these four wins, Stapleton's ACM Awards tally rises to an astounding 20.
Old Dominion continued their reign as ACM Group of the Year, claiming their seventh consecutive win in the category.
This achievement ties them with Rascal Flatts for the most consecutive wins in this prestigious category. With their victory tonight, Old Dominion's ACM Awards count climbs to nine.
Additionally, newcomers Megan Moroney, Nate Smith, and Tigirlily Gold celebrated their inaugural ACM Awards victories, securing wins in the New Artist categories.
Jordan Davis also achieved a significant milestone by earning his first two ACM Awards for his contributions as both an artist and songwriter on the ACM Song of the Year, "Next Thing You Know."
