Hosted by 16-time ACM Award winner Reba McEntire, the ceremony honours the industry's accomplishments during the previous year.
The show opened with a 12-minute medley of ACM Songs of the Year from the six decades the show has been in existence, featuring McEntire along with Clint Black, Dan + Shay, LeAnn Rimes, Sugarland and Wynonna Judd.
Heading into Thursday night's 2025 Awards, country rookie Ella Langley led the nominations pack with a whopping eight nods. She ultimately won Best New Female Artist, and followed that up with another win, Single of the Year, for You Look Like You Love Me with duet partner Riley Green.
But it was Lainey Wilson who starred on the night, winning the coveted hat trophy for Entertainer of the Year.
