The Academy of Country Music’s “Party of the Year” is here! The 59th ACM Awards — which were broadcast live from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas — kicked off Thursday evening (May 16), with Luke Combs leading the nominations with eight nods, while Megan Morrone — This year’s most-nominated woman at the ACMs — with Morgan Wallen behind her with six.

But it was Lenny Wilson and Chris Stapleton who took home some of the biggest awards of the night. The “Heart Like a Truck” singer took home awards for Female Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Music Event of the Year, which she shared with first-time nominee Jelly Roll for their collaboration on “Save Me.” Meanwhile, Stapleton won the categories of Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist and Songwriter of the Year.

The 2024 ceremony was hosted by country music icon Reba McEntire, a 16-time ACM Award winner, and produced by Dick Clark Productions. (DCP is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation and a joint venture between PMC and Eldridge. PMC is the parent company of painting.)
