What a night for Lainey Wilson!
The Louisiana native scored Female Artist/Songwriter, Vocalist, Album, and the biggest award of the evening…Entertainer of the Year! In her acceptance speech, Lainey spoke of when she was a child and would try to entertain her family by singing and dancing. She said the family would take the deer spotlight off the charger, turn off all the lights, and put young Lainey in the spotlight. She concluded her remarks by thanking “everyone”!
Other big winners included Chris Stapleton (Male Vocalist), Cody Johnson-Dirt Cheap (Song of the Year), Old Dominion (Group of the Year), and Brooks & Dunn (Duo of the Year).
The night also featured some incredible performances. They wasted no time out of the gate by treating us all to a medley of six decades of ACM hits performed by Reba, Clint Black, Little Big Town, and Wynonna.
As for me, the best performance was easily when host Reba teamed up with Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson for “Trailblazer”…their new song that honors all the women in country music who came before them and blazed the path.
Last and certainly not least…Reba’s hosting gets five stars out of five!
