The 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards is here. Just like ACM Awards past, the annual ceremony celebrates the best and brightest in the genre, while also dishing up some serious displays of country fashion.

Additional pre-show winners include The Red Clay Strays, a fiery country-rock band from Alabama that scored a win for New Duo/Group of the Year, and Zach Top, a neotraditional troubadour who took home New Male Artist of the Year.

Expect other winners to be announced before the the ACM Awards stream live on Prime Video on May 8. Other nominees include Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, and the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson, with seven each. Chris Stapleton scored six, and Post Malone, on the strength of his F-1 Trillion country foray, earned five.
