(CNN) — Lainey Wilson had a big night at the 60th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, which took place in Frisco, Texas on Thursday.
Wilson took home the entertainer of the year statue, along with several others at the show, which honors the biggest achievements in country music over the past year.
Nominees included Ella Langley, who led the night with eight nods, followed by Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen and Wilson, with seven apiece. Chris Stapleton follows that group with six nods, while Riley Green and Post Malone have five nominations each.
Reba McEntire hosted the ceremony for the 18th time and also joined the festivities as a performer, debuting her new song “Trailblazer” on the telecast. A news release described the song as “a heartfelt tribute to the pioneering women of country music who paved the way for future generations.” Wilson and Miranda Lambert join her on the track.
Other performers included Langley, Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini, Dan + Shay, Wynonna Judd and LeAnn Rimes, among many others.
