The ACM Awards is back for country music's party of the year.

The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards returned to The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, on Thursday (May 8), once again helmed by Reba McEntire returning as host for the 18th time, as fans tuned in to see which of their favorite artists would take home some new hardware.

Among the first-time nominees is Ella Langley, who not only was named New Female Artist of the Year but with eight nods was the most-nominated artist, earning six total for her duet with Riley Green, "you look like you love me." Additionally, Keith Urban will be presented with the coveted Triple Crown Award, earned by winning the ACM's Top New Male Vocalist (2001), Male Vocalist of the Year (2005, 2006) and Entertainer of the Year (2019). Other past Triple Crown winners include Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Brooks & Dunn, Merle Haggard, Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean, among others.

The night will also include star-powered performances from Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, Kelsea Ballerini, Cody Johnson and more as well as a "Songs of the Decades" throwback to open the show. The night will also feature collaborations from Rascal Flatts and Backstreet Boys, Brooks & Dunn and Cody Johnson, and Jelly Roll and Shaboozey.
