The pair were surprised on stage in Florida
Ella Langley and Riley Green are taking home ACM Visual Media of the Year for "You Look Like You Love Me" ahead of the 60th ACM Awards next week. The pair were surprised during Country Thunder in Florida last night (Fri, May 2nd) when ACM host Reba McEntire "interrupted" the show with a video message.
"Hey there all you crazy Country Thunder fans. You're having a good time out there, right? Well, sorry to interrupt, but I've got some big news. 'You Look Like You Love Me' has won the ACM for Visual Media of the Year. Congratulations to Ella and Riley," Reba says. "Can't wait to celebrate with you both in Frisco."
This is the second win for Langley, who's a first time nominee and leads the awards show with eight nominations. Last week, she was surprised with her first ACM Award after being named ACM New Female Artist of the Year during her Rock The Country set in Knoxville, Tennessee. The news was revealed through a special video from the winningest artist in ACM history, Miranda Lambert, congratulating Langley for winning her first ACM Award.
Langley is also nominated in the Female Artist of the Year, with "You Look Like You Love Me" also for Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Event of the Year. Last year, the song was certified platinum by the RIAA and marked Langley's first and Riley's fourth No. 1 on the country charts.
Hosted by 16-time ACM Award-winning entertainment icon Reba McEntire, the 60th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video on Thursday, May 8th at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
The celebration of 60 years of the ACM Awards will feature an opening you won’t want to miss, with 12 minutes straight of music highlighting ACM Songs of the Year from six decades in an all-star performance that brings together Clint Black, Dan + Shay, Wynonna Judd, Reba McEntire, LeAnn Rimes, and Sugarland. The milestone show will also feature powerhouse duets, including a collaborative performance between Backstreet Boys and Rascal Flatts; a standout performance from Jelly Roll and Shaboozey; and Brooks & Dunn will take the stage with Cody Johnson.
2024 ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Megan Moroney, will also join this year’s star-packed show featuring previously announced performances by Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, and Miranda Lambert, as well as New Artist of the Year winners Ella Langley and Zach Top.
