ACMs Red Carpet

Country music’s best and brightest stars hit the red carpet on Thursday night (May 8) for the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards.Making their grand entrance into the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, for the 60th annual awards show, country music icons like Reba McEntire — who’s hosting the show for the 18th time — and Wynonna Judd opted for fancy, all-black ensembles while LeAnn Rimes stunned in a nude illusion gown. Meanwhile, male artists like ERNEST, John Morgan and Parker McCollum dressed up their denim with fitted blazers, gleaming belt buckles and boots.
Jessie Murph arrived on the carpet carrying her pet pig Wilbur to celebrate her nomination for best new female artist, and the Backstreet Boys delivered elevated shades of boy band chic in sharp, monochromatic suits in the wake of releasing their duet version of “What Hurts the Most” with Rascal Flatts.
Ella Langley leads the pack at this year’s ACM Awards, with seven nods in her first year as a nominee, with Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Lainey Wilson all close behind with six nominations each. Keith Urban is also set to be honored during the telecast with the ACM Triple Crown Award after taking home trophies for new artist, male artist of the year and entertainer of the year across his acclaimed career.
