2023 ACM Winners

Here is a complete list of this year’s Academy of Country Music Award winners, dominated by multiple wins for Hardy and Lainey Wilson.

Chris Stapleton was a nice surprise for Entertainer of the Year, and it was great getting to see the Lindeville ladies, War & Treaty, and Kane Brown raise the bar for the evening’s performances.

I also loved how the nineties stars are now the revered veterans, from Garth’s co-hosting stint to top notch performances from Jo Dee Messina and Trisha Yearwood.

All in all, it was the best country awards show in recent years, at least since the 50th Anniversary CMA show in 2016.
