2021 ACM Awards: The Complete List Of Winners
on Apr 18, 2021
In 2020, the ACM Awards were postponed until September due to everything going on in the world. But this year, the ACM Awards were able to take place in April like normal.
While past ACM Awards were held in Las Vegas, the 2021 ACM Awards were held in Nashville for the second year in a row. The April 18 ceremony was co-hosted by Keith Urban (who also hosted in 2020) and Mickey Guyton.
Maren Morris and Chris Stapleton tied for the the most nominations this year. They each earned a total of six. Miranda Lambert followed in their footsteps with a total of five nominations, and Ashley McBryde and Thomas Rhett each earned four.
Two awards were announced a couple weeks before the ceremony. Jimmie Allen was named the New Male Artist of the Year and Gabby Barrett was dubbed the New Female Artist of the Year.
Then, a few days before the ceremony, it was announced that Kane Brown‘s music video for “Worldwide Beautiful” won the Video of the Year Award.
Yet another award was given out before the ceremony aired. This award was for Music Event of the Year, and it went to Carly Pearce and Lee Brice for “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”
Now it’s time for you to find out the other winners at the 2021 ACM Awards! Below you’ll find the complete list of winners.
The list will be updated throughout the ceremony as more trophies are given out, so make sure to check back from time to time to see who the big winners are!
