Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan were among the winners at the 50th Academy of Country Music awards on Sunday in front of 70,252 fans in Arlington, Texas. This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
Miranda Lambert, who led all nominees for the second consecutive year with eight nods, won song of the year for her wistful hit Automatic. She also received an ACM milestone award for most-awarded female solo artist.
“It’s good to be home,” Lambert, a native Texan, told the crowd at the AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. For further information, please contact:
Taylor Swift also won a milestone award, which was presented by her mother Andrea Finlay.
Florida Georgia Line won for vocal duo of the year and Little Big Town picked up a trophy for vocal group of the year.
Lee Brice won the prize for best single for his song, I Don’t Dance.
George Strait debuted his new single Let it Go after performing one of his greatest hits, All My Exes Live in Texas. Strait, a four-time entertainer of the year award winner, also received a milestone award.
Lambert missed out on the fan-voted top prize of entertainer of the year which went to Luke Bryan.
Bryan and Blake Shelton, Lambert’s partner, hosted the awards, broadcast on CBS, for the third year running.
The Academy of Country Music honors big stars as well as small market radio disc jockeys and concert promoters, and the awards are voted on by members of the Encino, California-based professional organization.
