Here’s everyone who won at the 2018 ACM Awards
Last night, April 15th, the 2018 Academy of Country Music Awards were held in Las Vegas. The show was full of memorable moments. Carrie Underwood made her return to the stage after a devastating accident in November that left her with between 40 and 50 stitches in her face. And there were other performances from country music’s biggest acts, including Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Bryan. To top it all off, the show was hosted by legendary singer and ACM Awards veteran Reba McEntire. But if you weren’t able to watch last night awards show ceremony, you might be wondering: Who were the 2018 ACM Awards winners? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.
After a moving tribute to the victims of the October 2017 Las Vegas massacre and a monologue from McEntire, the presentation of the awards began. Miranda Lambert took home Female Vocalist of the Year in a category that also featured Underwood and McEntire, and she also won Song of the Year, making her the artist with the most ACM Awards victories ever. And Chris Stapleton, who was voted Male Vocalist of the Year, also won Album of the Year for From a Room: Volume 1. Entertainer of the Year went to James Aldean, who was performing at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival when a gunman opened fire on the crowd.
