“I’m here to tell you how proud I am of you for being the top nominated artist for the Academy of Country Music Awards this year. You are my friend, first and foremost, a fellow dog rescue advocate, you are a cowriter, you are my soul sister in Country Music and a partner in crime,” Lambert said in the video before revealing Langley had won ACM New Female Artist. “We are gonna celebrate so big in Dallas, Texas! They ain’t even ready!”
Langley’s win arrives after the release of her debut album, hungover, which was named one of the best albums of 2024 by The New York Times and Rolling Stone and features a full track-list of songs co-written by Langley. Her massive hit single from the album, “you look like you love me,” featuring Riley Green, marked her Billboard Hot 100 debut (Top 30), earned Langley her first No. 1 single on Country radio, and made her the first of only two female artists to lead the Billboard Country Airplay Chart in 2024. Langley received the most nominations at the ACM Awards this year with eight nods, including New Female Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and six nominations for “you look like you love me” including Single of the Year, Song of the Year (as an artist and songwriter), Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year (as an artist and director).
She will be celebrated for her ACM New Female Artist of the Year win at the 60th ACM Awards, hosted by entertainment icon Reba McEntire. The 60th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys.
