Ella Langley and Riley Green already have a lot to celebrate. Though the 2025 ACM Awards are still days away, the country stars can already count themselves big winners.

While the pair was performing at Country Thunder, Langley and Green learned that their “You Look Like You Love Me” music video won the ACM Award for Visual Media of the Year.
ACM Awards host Reba McEntire shared the happy news via a video message that was played for the crowd.
“Sorry to interrupt, but I have some big news,” McEntie said in the clip, before announcing Langley and Green’s win. “… Can’t wait to celebrate with you both in Frisco!”
Langley and Green aren’t the only early winners at this year’s ACMs. Zach Top was named the New Male Artist of the Year, while Red Clay Strays was crowned the Best New Group of the Year.
The 2025 ACM Awards
Green previously won the New Male Artist of the Year ACM Award back in 2020. Though this marks the first year that Langley is nominated at the show, she’s already a winner too.
Last month, the ACM Awards revealed that Langley had been crowned the New Female Artist of the Year. During Langley’s set at Rock the Country in Knoxville, Tennessee, a video message from Miranda Lambert played for the crowd.
“You, my friend, have won New Female Artist of the Year for the ACM Awards,” Lambert told her “soul sister in country music” in the clip.
Langley was clearly chocked up by the news, telling the crowd, “Every day of my life, I’ve just prayed about this and thought about it, and literally everything I’ve ever done was to be able to do this.”
“I’m just really grateful to have fans that are listening to the music and see that it is truth, and that I’m just a real-life human being going through life like the rest of everyone else,” she added.
Langley is up for six more ACMs at the ceremony, making her the most nominated artist of the year. Green, meanwhile, is nominated for six more trophies at the event, which will take place on May 8.
