ACM Awards 2020: See the full list of winners
The 55th annual Academy of Country Music Awards took place this week
Last updated 12th May 2021
In a year that's been very unusual, the 55th annual Academy of Country Music Awards has been postponed for six months. However, the awards have finally taken place over a live stream hosted by Keith Urban, with a performance by Taylor Swift, of her new song 'Betty'.
The prestigious awards were originally set to take place in Las Vegas back in April, but were postponed for obvious reasons. Now, for the first time in their history, the awards took place in Nashville, in three venues, the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Cafe.
