Lainey Wilson, who dominated the night with four major wins, including Entertainer of the Year, also took home Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year.
Kix Brooks, born and raised in Shreveport, took the stage once again as one half of Brooks & Dunn, who grabbed another Duo of the Year win. The legendary pair’s long connection to Louisiana’s music roots was front and center, proof that Shreveport’s influence on country music hasn’t slowed down a bit.
Jordan Davis, another hometown name, was also in the building. The Shreveport native served as a presenter this year, standing among the top names in country music. Davis has long credited his time growing up in Shreveport for shaping his sound, and now he’s bringing that local legacy to national stages.
Several artists who lit up the ACM stage are set to perform in the Shreveport-Bossier area over the next few months, making the celebration feel even closer to home.
Parker McCollum, who stepped in as a presenter during the show, is also Shreveport-bound. The Texas artist has a stop booked at Brookshire Grocery Arena this July, keeping his strong fan base in Louisiana close.
Gretchen Wilson also made an appearance at the ACM Awards as a presenter. Fresh off her win on The Masked Singer Season 13, Wilson will be in Natchitoches for the upcoming Jazz R&B Festival May 10, 2025.
The 2025 ACM Awards may have been held in Texas but make no mistake the heart of country music was pulsing from right here in northwest Louisiana.
And with all these artists headed our way soon, the celebration’s far from over.
