ACM Awards 2020: The Complete Winners List
The 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards comes to Nashville for the first time in its history on Wednesday, September 16th. Delayed from the original April date due to Covid-19, the show will take place in Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium, and Bluebird Cafe, with Keith Urban serving as first-time host.
Ahead of the broadcast, winners have been named in a handful of categories. In mid-August, Urban surprised Tenille Townes and Riley Green via Zoom to inform them that they were the New Artist of the Year winners. On Monday, three more winners were announced. Those included Thomas Rhett’s “Remember You Young” for Video of the Year and Hillary Lindsey winning her first Songwriter of the Year award. In the Music Event of the Year, the prize went to Miranda Lambert’s one-off cover of Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” featuring tourmates Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack, Tenille Townes, and Elle King.
The 2020 ACM Awards airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Performers include Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Keith Urban with Pink, and Taylor Swift, marking her first performance on the ACMs in seven years.
