The 2019 ACM Awards Winners Are…

Academy of Country Music

The 54th Academy of Country Music Awards are finally here!

16-time ACM Awards show host Reba McEntire announced the nominees in February, and it has felt like a long wait for fans who have anxiously waited to hear who the winners are for the 2019 ACM Awards.

Chris Stapleton and Dan + Shay lead the nominations with six each. Kacey Musgraves earned five nods in three categories, and Dierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha all had four nominations each.

Winners in three categories were announced prior to the broadcast of the ceremony. New Female Vocalist of the Year, New Male Vocalist of the Year, New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Ashley McBryde, Luke Combs, LANCO and Shane McAnally won those categories respectively.

The wait is finally over to find out who wins in the other categories! You can find a complete list of ACM Awards nominees and winners below. We’ll keep the list updated throughout the night as soon as the winners are announced. Be sure to check back to keep up with the latest news!
