Stapleton, McCollum, Dillon win ACM honors
Stapleton received his 17th ACM Award when he was named the winner of ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year. Stapleton is the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year and also the most-recent recipient of the Academy's coveted Triple Crown prize, which celebrates artists who have won New Female/Male Artist of the Year, Female/Male Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year. He also has four additional nominations, including Album of the Year (artist and producer) for "Higher," Male Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, and is set to perform live on the show.
McCollum won his second ACM Award, this time for ACM Visual Media of the Year for his music video for "Burn It Down," produced by Christen Pinkston and Wesley Stebbins-Perry and directed by Dustin Haney. In 2022, Parker McCollum won ACM New Male Artist of the Year. He is also nominated for ACM Single of the Year for "Burn It Down" and is set to perform on the show as well.
Dillon received her first ACM Award after winning ACM Songwriter of the Year. She was previously been nominated as a songwriter on Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber's "10,000 Hours" and Cole Swindell's "Break Up In The End."
