2017 ACM Awards Winners List
The 2017 ACM Awards brought some pretty big shockers, including some that surprised the winners themselves.
Thomas Rhett was one of the biggest winners of the night, capping off an unforgettable year that saw him break through to superstardom. He took home Song of the Year honors for "Die a Happy Man," but was especially pleased with his win for Male Vocalist of the Year — a category he previously expressed surprise that he was even nominated in.
Miranda Lambert made it eight in a row in winning Female Vocalist of the Year, but her biggest victory of the night came when she won Album of the Year for The Weight of These Wings, an album that was deeply personal to the singer-songwriter.
Florida Georgia Line were also multiple winners in the 2017 ACM Awards. They captured Single Record of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year, and Jason Aldean pulled off a repeat as Entertainer of the Year in 2017.
