The winners of the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards have been revealed!

Among the key victors during the event held Sunday, April 18 was Luke Bryan, who nabbed the coveted Entertainer of the Year prize. Meanwhile, Carly Pearce and Lee Brice's "I Hope You're Happy Now" took home two awards, including Single of the Year, while Maren Morris also prevailed in two categories.

"This category is not about who can sing their ass off, or entertains the best, even," Maren said in accepting Female Artist of the Year. "I consider this category to just be, who tried their best in a year where it was very weird, and no one could really do what they were made to do. But I really appreciate my peers for voting for me."

Keith Urban, who received two ACM Award nominations, and Mickey Guyton, who was nominated for New Female Artist of the Year, co-hosted the annual ceremony, which was broadcast on CBS from the Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tenn. 

Maren Morris and Chris Stapleton led the list of nominees with six nods each, while Miranda Lambert received five nominations, and Ashley McBryde and Thomas Rhett scored four nods each. Producer busbee, who died in 2019, was also recognized by the Academy with two posthumous nominations for Music Event and Single of the Year for "I Hope You're Happy Now."
