The ACMs came back to Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for show’s 61st edition last month, marking the first time in three years Sin City hosted the event after the 2023 and 2024 shows took place in Frisco, Texas.
Shania Twain hosted this year’s show, and Ella Langley came home as the most-awarded artist of the night, winning a record seven ACMs. Cody Johnson won for entertainer of the year. Miranda Lamber and Stephen Wilson Jr. both came away with multiple wins as well.
