Country Singer Ella Langley Wins Five Awards at 2026 ACM Awards

Country singer Ella Langley won five awards at the 2026 American Country Music Awards on Sunday. The artist received Female Artist of the Year, Artist-Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year for "Choosin' Texas," and Music Event of the Year for the duet "Don't Mind if I Do" with Riley Green.

During her acceptance speech, Langley thanked God for placing her in a room with three specific people. She later became emotional while crediting fellow artists Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Kelsea Ballerini for their support.

Langley described walking into Lainey Wilson's room earlier that day and becoming emotional. Wilson hugged her and prayed for her, she said. Miranda Lambert then arrived wearing a pink hat. Langley also thanked Kelsea Ballerini for her encouragement. She credited many women in the industry for helping her reach this point in her career.

Langley thanked Jesus for allowing her to make a living in music. She has previously stated that her relationship with God changed when she began to view each day as a gift rather than a chore. The 2026 American Country Music Awards were hosted by Shania Twain.
