One of the most wholesome moments to come out of ACM Awards weekend had nothing to do with performances or awards. Instead, it came from 7 year old Ella Fauver, interviewing some of country music’s biggest names on the carpet.

Country music star Ella Langley came to win at last night’s annual ACM Awards in Las Vegas. After taking home five awards last year, the Alabama-born hitmaker snagged a total of seven trophies yesterday, breaking the previous record of six wins in one year, held by Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Chris Stapleton.

From emotional speeches and surprise wins to standout performances and big surprises, the night delivered plenty for country music fans to talk about. In case you missed it, here are some of the highest highs, lowest lows, and most unexpected moments from one of country music’s most important nights.

The ACM Awards have announced their nominees for 2026 and women lead the ballot.
