59th CMA Awards: Here is the list of 2025 winners

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Lainey Wilson, Ella Langley and Riley Green were the big winners on Wednesday at the 59th CMA Awards show in Nashville.

Wilson, who hosted the show, took the top prize, winning entertainer of the year honors.

She also won album of the year honors and was named the top female vocalist.

“I was just so tickled to be hosting this thing tonight,” Wilson said after winning entertainer of the year honors but forgetting she had to give closing remarks. “I forgot I was hosting this thing.

“Thank you for letting me run my mouth on this legendary stage and celebrate the best genre in the world, country dang music.”

Langley and Green were duet partners whose teaming on “you look like you love me” earned wins in the single of the year, song of the year and music video of the year categories.

Cody Johnson won for best male vocalist, while the Red Clay Strays won vocal group of the year.

The awards ceremony was held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
