The 56th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards were held on Sunday night, to recognize the top artists as well as emerging stars in the country.
Popular American singer Luke Bryan won the Entertainer of the Year. He received his honor via video link as he was unable to attend the event due to testing positive for Covid-19 last week.
Maren Morris and Chris Stapleton, who led in nominations going into the night, also took home top prizes. Keith Urban and "Black Like Me Singer" Mickey Guyton co-hosted the event.
