The excitement for the 60th ACM Awards just hit a whole new level of awesome! Our hearts here at ACountry.com are bursting with pride as we celebrate the incredible news: the super talented Ella Langley and the always captivating Riley Green have already snagged an ACM Award for Visual Media of the Year for their smash hit collaboration, “you look like you love me”!
And the way they found out? Pure country magic! During Riley Green’s electrifying headlining set at Country Thunder Florida in Tampa on Friday night (May 2nd), the stage screens suddenly lit up with a special message from none other than the legendary ACM Awards host herself, Reba McEntire! Can you imagine the roar of the crowd as Reba announced the fantastic news, congratulating Ella and Riley on their well-deserved win? Talk about a moment!
This victory is the cherry on top of an already phenomenal year for both artists. Ella Langley, who was already surprised with the ACM New Female Artist of the Year award just last week, is proving to be a true force in country music. Her debut album, “hungover,” where she co-wrote every single track, has been lauded by the likes of The New York Times and Rolling Stone. And “you look like you love me,” featuring Riley Green, has been a chart-dominating sensation, earning Ella her first No. 1 on Country radio and a spot in the Billboard Hot 100! With a whopping eight nominations heading into the 60th ACM Awards, including nods for Single, Song, and Music Event of the Year for “you look like you love me,” Ella is truly shining! This Visual Media of the Year win marks her third ACM Award for this year alone – two as an artist and one as a director! Talk about a powerhouse!
And let’s hear it for Riley Green! This marks his second ACM Award win, following his ACM New Male Artist of the Year win back in 2020. With his signature no-gimmick style and relatable songwriting, Riley has given us hits like the 2X-PLATINUM “There Was This Girl,” the 3X-PLATINUM tear-jerker “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and the chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett, “Half Of Me.” His recent success with his third studio album, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” proves he’s a mainstay in the genre. With five nominations this year for “you look like you love me,” this Visual Media of the Year win is a fantastic recognition of the magic he and Ella created together.
The anticipation is building like crazy for the 60th ACM Awards, hosted by the incomparable Reba McEntire, airing live on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch this Thursday, May 8th at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas!
