2019 ACM Winners and their speeches

The 54th Academy of Country Music Awards were last night in Las Vegas, and start to finish, the show certainly did not disappoint! There were amazing performances, Reba was a fantastic host (for the 16th time!), and there were so many deserving winners.

Keith Urban took home the biggest award of the night, Entertainer of the Year

Kacey Musgraves continued her streak of trophy after trophy, claiming Album of the Year for "Golden Hour" and Female Vocalist of the Year.

Thomas Rhett won Male Vocalist of the Year for the second time and adorably gushed over his "smoking hot" wife!

And how about Dan + Shay?! "Tequlia" won Song of the Year AND Single of the Year (plus Dan Smyers won an additional trophy for each of those for writing and producing "Tequlia"), and Dan + Shay were named Duo of the Year

Jason Aldean also took home the Dick Clark Artist of the Decade award.
