Country music fans, assemble: The 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards is here. Just like ACM Awards past, the annual ceremony celebrates the best and brightest in the genre, while also dishing up some serious displays of country fashion.
Who could forget the bright red asymmetrical dress Taylor Swift wore to the 2009 awards show? What about Carrie Underwood’s fringed, floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown from the 2014 ceremony?
Hosted for the 18th time by “Queen of Country” Reba McEntire, the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards will take place at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, and will feature performances from country sensations including Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and LeAnn Rimes. Also in attendance is Keith Urban, who will receive the coveted Triple Crown Award during the show.
Country music stars know that the ACM Awards sets the stage for a dazzling red carpet moment. Here are some of the night’s unforgettable looks.

For finishing touches, McEntire went country-glam with sparkly black over-the-knee boots and a bedazzled belt.
