On May 17, 2026, Ella Langley won seven ACM Awards in a single ceremony — the most any artist has taken home in one night, according to Billboard and Variety. The 27-year-old from Hope Hull, Alabama surpassed records previously held by Garth Brooks (6 in 1991) and Chris Stapleton (5 in 2016).
Her verified wins include Female Artist of the Year (second consecutive), Song of the Year for "Choosin' Texas," Single of the Year for "Choosin' Texas," Music Event of the Year for "Don't Mind If I Do" with Riley Green, and Video of the Year for "Choosin' Texas," among her other categories that night.
What the ACM Sweep Followed
The ACM performance came on the heels of a strong 2026 already in progress:
- Dandelion album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 when it released on April 10, 2026
- "Choosin' Texas" reached #1 on both Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay
- The Dandelion Tour launched May 7 with arena dates running through August 15
- "Don't Mind If I Do" with Riley Green marked the second consecutive year a Langley-Green collaboration won ACM Music Event of the Year (following "You Look Like You Love Me" at the 2025 CMAs)
The Riley Green Connection
Riley Green has been Ella Langley's most consistent collaborator. "You Look Like You Love Me" broke through in 2024 and became a CMA Musical Event of the Year winner. "Don't Mind If I Do" continued the partnership in 2026 with another awards-circuit win. Two consecutive event-of-the-year victories across the CMAs and ACMs is a pattern worth watching for more collaborations.

The ACM sweep happened while the Dandelion Tour was already in progress. Demand for tour dates has been strong — Ella Langley's official channels have announced additional dates. The tour runs through August 15, 2026 with arena dates across the US.
For fans heading to upcoming shows, the energy around the Dandelion era is at a peak. "Choosin' Texas" has been a setlist highlight, and the ACM recognition has added momentum.
