The 2024 Academy of Country Music Award successfully wrapped up its festivities, awarding trophies to some of the best talents in the country music genre on Thursday, May 16th.
The evening began at The Star in Frisco, Texas, with Luke Combs as the most nominated (eight) artist, while Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen trailed him closely with six nods each. However, it was Lainey Wilson and Chris Stapleton who went home with some of the night’s biggest honors.
While the Heart Like a Truck singer bagged trophies for Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Music Event of the Year, Stapelton scored wins in Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year categories.
