Ella Langley was the top winner at the 61st Academy of Country Music (ACM)    Awards, taking home 5 awards in a clean sweep.  The first major honor of the night — the coveted Song of the Year award — went to Langley for her hit “Choosin’ Texas.” Less than an hour later, she returned to the stage to accept Single of the Year for the same song. She also teamed up with Riley Green for a win in Music Event of the Year, thanks to “Don’t Mind if I Do.” Langley also earned Female Artist of the Year, beating out fellow nominees Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Megan Moroney, and Lainey Wilson. With five wins, Langley broke the previous ACM record for most victories in a single year, surpassing marks previously set by Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, and Chris Stapleton. The 61st annual ACM Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
