About the Show
61st ACM Awards
The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards returned to the dazzling city of Las Vegas following three successful years in Texas. Taking place from the world-renowned MGM Grand Garden Arena, the award celebration streamed live on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Sunday, May 17, 2026, continuing the groundbreaking legacy of the ACM Awards as the first-ever major awards show to livestream exclusively. Legendary songwriter and best-selling female Country artist Shania Twain took the stage as host — her first time ever hosting the show. The ACM Awards experience featured unprecedented performances, exclusive collaborations, and unexpected moments from the biggest Country Music stars, including performances by Cody Johnson, Kacey Musgraves, Lainey Wilson, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, and Riley Green, and more.
