The lucky winners of the 2022 ACM Awards are in!
The 57th Academy of Country Music Awards streamed live from Las Vegas on Monday night with host Dolly Parton and co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett taking emcee duties.
In addition to the night’s big winners, there were also a slew of performances from stars like Kelly Clarkson, who performed a tribute to Parton, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Brothers Osborne, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, Thomas Rhett and Parton herself.
Heading into the night, Chris Young was the most-nominated artist, with seven nods, including album of the year and single of the year, while Walker Hayes, Miranda Lambert and Stapleton trailed with five apiece.
This year marks the first time Hayes has ever been nominated for an ACM, and his hit “Fancy Like” propelled him to success, earning four nominations in addition to Hayes’ nod for new male artist of the year.
Lambert, meanwhile, earned her sixth nomination for entertainer of the year, as well as a record-tying nod for female artist of the year (she and Reba McEntire now each have 16).
Taylor Swift was also nominated for the first time since 2018, and her music video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version)” earned actress Blake Lively her first ACM nominations, as she produced and directed the video.
