The 2022 ACM Awards were handed out on Monday (March 7) and the biggest award of the night, Entertainer of the Year, went to Miranda Lambert!
Miranda, who was in London, couldn’t be there in person to accept but was shown via a video message. It was the first time in 17 years that she missed the show and said in the taped video, “I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time…I actually thought it would never happen.”
‘Ran then dedicated her award to all the women singer/songwriters “putting their blood, sweat and tears into their guitar strings.”
