Thomas Rhett and Carrie Underwood tied for Entertainer of the Year at the ACM Awards, a first.
Is 2020 right? After receiving the award and elbowing emcee Keith Urban, Underwood stated.
Rhett's first Entertainer of the Year title follows Underwood's 2008 and 2009 wins.
Luke Combs' What You See Is What You Get won Album of the Year. The “Lovin’ on You” singer earned Male Artist of the Year, while Maren Morris won Female.
She said, “This is so weird talking to no one,” as she accepted her prize at an empty Grand Ole Opry House. “Thank you country music—vote!”
“God’s Country” by Blake Shelton and “One Man Band” by Old Dominion were named Single and Song of the Year, respectively.
Old Dominion won Group of the Year, with members wearing masks to receive. Dan + Shay won Duo of the Year. The entire winner list is below.
