The honor comes two weeks ahead of the 60th ACM Awards
The most nominated artist at the upcoming 60th ACM Awards, Ella Langley, was surprised with her first ACM Award after being named ACM New Female Artist of the Year on Friday afternoon (Apr 25th). While on stage for her set at Rock The Country in Knoxville, Tennessee, the news was revealed through a special video from the winningest artist in ACM history, Miranda Lambert, congratulating Langley for winning her first ACM Award.
“I’m here to tell you how proud I am of you for being the top nominated artist for the Academy of Country Music Awards this year. You are my friend, first and foremost, a fellow dog rescue advocate, you are a cowriter, you are my soul sister in Country Music and a partner in crime,” Lambert said in the video before revealing Langley had won ACM New Female Artist. “We are gonna celebrate so big in Dallas, Texas! They ain’t even ready!”
Langley’s win arrives after the release of her debut album, Hungover, which features a full track-list of songs co-written by Langley. Her massive hit single from the album, “You Look Like You Love Me,” featuring Riley Green, marked her Billboard Hot 100 debut (Top 30), earned Langley her first No. 1 single on country radio, and made her the first of only two female artists to lead the Billboard Country Airplay Chart in 2024. Langley received the most nominations at the ACM Awards this year with eight nods, including New Female Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and six nominations for the track including Single of the Year, Song of the Year (as an artist and songwriter), Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year (as an artist and director).
Yesterday (Thurs, Aug 24th), Zach Top was crowned ACM New Male Artist of the Year prior to taking the stage for a sold-out show on his Cold Beer & Country Music Tour in Wilmington, North Carolina. The news was revealed by the winningest duo in ACM history, Brooks & Dunn, through a special video congratulating Top for winning his first ACM Award.
Both will be celebrated for their New Artist of the Year wins at the 60th ACM Awards, hosted by entertainment icon Reba McEntire. The 60th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Thursday, May 8th at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys.
