Lainey Wilson was the big winner of the night at the 2025 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, taking home three awards.
Country music's biggest night saw Wilson win Album of the Year for Whirlwind, Female Vocalist of the Year (for the second year in a row), and the highly coveted Entertainer of the Year. She also performed and hosted the show.
Also taking home three awards was Ella Langley and Riley Green, whose collaboration “You Look Like You Love Me” cleaned up the song categories, winning Single of the Year, Record of the Year and Music Video of the Year.
There were some big upsets on the night too. Zach Top beat out stiff competition from Ella Langley and Shaboozey to win New Artist of the Year, and underdogs The Red Clay Strays were awarded Vocal Group of the Year in a tough category that included Lady A, Rascal Flatts and Old Dominion.
See the full list of winners below.
