The Awards season of Hollywood is here and it does not get more exciting than this! The much-awaited Academy of Country Music Awards 2022 was held on Monday night.
The Award ceremony was hosted by none other than 'Here You Come Again' hitmaker Dolly Parton. Singers Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett co-hosted the event with Dolly.
Top artists including Kelly Clarkson, The Brothers Osborne, Ashley McBride and Carly Pearce set the stage ablaze with their brilliant performances. The surprise winner was undoubtedly, Miranda Lambert, who was named 'Entertainer of the Year'. Miranda has been nominated multiple times for the award, but this was her maiden win.
Another unexpected winner was Carly Pearce who won the 'Female Vocalist of the Year' for the first time. An expected winner was surely Chris Stapleton, who picked up the 'Male Vocalist of the Year' for the third time.
