Ella Langley took one of the night’s top honors at the 2026 ACM Awards, where the Academy of Country Music named her Female Artist of the Year during the Las Vegas ceremony.
The win came during a standout night for Langley, who was recognized across several major categories. She also earned Artist-Songwriter of the Year, while Choosin’ Texas won Song of the Year and Single of the Year. Her collaboration with Riley Green, Don’t Mind If I Do, was named Music Event of the Year.
Langley appeared emotional while accepting the Female Artist of the Year award, pausing as the moment settled in. She used part of her time onstage to acknowledge the women in country music who have supported her, including fellow artists who helped shape the path around her.
The award marks another major step in Langley’s rise within country music. After building momentum with both solo releases and collaborations, her ACM success places her among the genre’s most visible names this year.
