Lainey Wilson also won the ‘Female Artist of the Year.’ Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, and Morgan Wallen were the other nominees for ‘Entertainer of the Year.’


"I remember being a little girl and I would climb out on the top of our roof. I'd open my window and climb out and I would count all the stars," said the Heart Like A Truck singer.

"I would look up and I'd see the planes flying over my little town of 200 people and I'd dream about being up there in one of those planes," the singer continued. 

"And the funny thing is, I still feel like that little girl. I really do. I still climb out on the roof and I look at the stars, except I feel like I'm a little more eye level with them now," added the Watermelon Moonshine singer. 

Wilson concluded the speech saying, "Everybody in this category has loved me... took me on the road, sang songs with me, wrote with me, encouraged me every step of the way. And I love y'all for that."
