The Complete Winners List for the 2023 ACM Awards!
The 2023 ACM Awards aired live from Texas on Thursday on Prime Video
The 2023 ACM Awards were in full swing!
The annual country music program began on Wednesday with a string of early victories before airing Thursday night on Prime Video from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, with hosts Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.
The first winners of trophies were Hailey Whitters and Zach Bryan, who on Wednesday were named new female artist of the year and new male artist, respectively. Meanwhile, songwriter of the year went to Ashley Gorley, who collaborated on such popular songs as "You Should Probably Leave" for Chris Stapleton and "Sand in My Boots" for Morgan Wallen.
Shortly after receiving her prize, Whitters posted a photo
on Instagram with the hashtag "WHAT " and the word "shock"
in the caption. The Academy of Country Music received a thank-you from Bryan in
an Instagram Story. HARDY entered the night as the most-nominated artist, with
seven nods, including song of the year and artist-songwriter of the year. He
shared three of his nominations with Lainey Wilson, who was nominated for six
awards. Trailing them are Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert
and Cole Swindell, who will each vie for five trophies. The Triple Crown Award winner Lambert is nominated for
female artist of the year for a record-breaking 17th time, surpassing Reba
McEntire's 16 nominations from the previous year. If Combs or Stapleton win entertainer of the year, they will
both have won the Triple Crown, which is when an artist wins artist of the
year, new artist, and entertainer of the year. Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, HARDY, Brown, Combs, Cody
Johnson, Lambert, Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, The War and Treaty, Wilson, Bailey
Zimmerman, and Dolly Parton will all play at the star-studded event. Parton
will also premiere the first single from her next rock album. A medley of hits by Carly Pearce and Trisha Yearwood will
also include them singing together, and Cole Swindell and Jo Dee Messina will
collaborate on the song "She Had Me at Heads Carolina (Remix)." In
addition to Ashley McBryde, Brandy Clark, Caylee Hammack, Pillbox Patti, and
John Osborne of the Brothers Osborne, who will play a unique rendition of
"Bonfire at Tina's," Ed Sheeran will also make an appearance.
