2020 ACM Awards Winners: The Complete List
2020 ACM Awards: Take two.
Six months have passed since the ACM Awards were originally supposed to take place on April 5 and quite a lot changed.
The show was relocated from Las Vegas, Nev. to Nashville, Tenn. where the event took place across three different venues in Music City. Keith Urban hosted the show live from the Grand Ole Opry, and numerous artists gave impressive performances at the Ryman Auditorium and the famous Bluebird Cafe.
Additionally, Taylor Swift was added to the all-star roster of performers. For the first time in seven years, the singer took to the ACM Awards stage to perform "Betty" from her new album, folklore.
All of that and more only added to the excitement of country music fans, who quite literally waited for this moment for months. So, without further ado, find out the nominees and winners below!
The ACM Awards aired live on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
