Green, Langley take ACM honor
The word came down during Green's set at Country Thunder Florida. The news was revealed by thed host of the 60th ACM Awards, Reba McEntire, through a special video congratulating Langley and Green for their win.
The surprise came as Green brought out Langley during his headlining set at the festival, less than one week before the ACM Awards on Thursday in Frisco, Texas.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have some big news. 'you look like you love me' has won the ACM for Visual Media of the Year. Congratulations to Ella and Riley," McEntire said in her message. "Can't wait to celebrate with you both in Frisco."
Langley's win comes after already being named the ACM New Female Artist of the Year a week earlier thanks in part to the success of her debut album, "hungover," in which she co-wrote every song on the album.

With the song "Different 'Round Here," Green sings a Southern pride song, but it's one that goes much deeper than a regional affection for sweet tea. ...
Riley Green's "Get That Man A Beer" EP includes a strong quartet of modern country songs. None better than "Numbers On The Cars," though. It's the perfectly appropriate song to pull out whenever arguing the case for what real country music does best. Chronicling the trials and tribulations of an Alzheimer's-afflicted father, it's difficult to imagine any other genre bettering this one. Its various lyrical scenarios spotlight the confusing inconsistencies ...
