Entertainer of year at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards goes to Chris Stapleton.
The singer-songwriter took home the coveted honor at the annual country music awards show, beating out fellow nominees Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen.
“Well, I’m shocked — truly. By any imaginable metric I don’t deserve this, but thank you,” said Stapleton.
“I’m really at a loss of what to say, but I want to say, my kids sitting at home, they give up a lot of my time, a lot of my wife’s time so we can do this,” he concluded, dedicating the award to his and Morgane’s five kids.
