Miranda Lambert won the Entertainer of the Year award at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards. However, she was unable to attend the event and made her acceptance speech virtually. Morgan Wallen, who faced controversy last year after a video of him using a racial slur surfaced, won the Album of the Year award. The ceremony took place in Las Vegas with a packed audience, and Dolly Parton served as the host. Other winners included Lainey Wilson, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, and Carly Pearce.
