2019 ACM Entertainer Of The Year Announced

ACM

This year’s ACM Awards were full of exciting honors and performances as each well-deserving country artist took the stage. With country music booming, it’s no wonder so many awards were given out. But the biggest award of the night went down when Entertainer of the Year was announced.

Over the decades, a series of talented country artists have taken home the legendary title. In 1970, Merle Haggard took home the award with flying colors. In the 80s, Alabama took home the award five years in a row. Since then, Garth Brooks, Reba, Hank Williams Jr, and so many more have all been recognized with the Entertainer of the Year award.

The 51-year-old Australian singer/songwriter has taken home his very first win for ACM Entertainer Of The Year – and we have to say: this was very well-deserved!

We couldn’t be happier for him – and plus, he also took the time to release a brand new song for fans, “Burden” which is a cover of a Foy Vance song.

Congrats to this country superstar and his big win!
