The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards is fast approaching, with Keith Urban being recognized as the standout performer of the night. On May 5, the Academy of Country Music, in partnership with Prime Video and Dick Clark Productions, announced that Urban, 57, would receive the prestigious ACM Triple Crown Award during the ceremony, scheduled for May 8 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
To commemorate this significant achievement, the event will showcase performances of Urban’s biggest hits by notable artists including Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, and Brothers Osborne. The ACM Triple Crown Award honors artists who have won three major accolades: New Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year. Urban’s past victories include Top New Male Vocalist in 2001, Male Vocalist of the Year in 2005 and 2006, and Entertainer of the Year in 2019.
This year’s ceremony marks a special occasion, as it’s the first time the ACM Triple Crown will be presented live during the ACM Awards since Carrie Underwood’s win in 2010. Multiple artists, including Lainey Wilson and Chris Stapleton, have received the award in prior years during the ACM Honors. Furthermore, Luke Combs has the opportunity to win Entertainer of the Year this year, potentially positioning him for a future Triple Crown.
The celebration promises to be an unforgettable evening for country music lovers. Fans can catch the live stream of the ACM Awards exclusively on Prime at 8 p.m. ET on May 8, 2025.
This significant recognition for Keith Urban not only highlights his impressive contributions to country music but also emphasizes the camaraderie and celebration within the music community. As the awards night approaches, excitement builds for a showcase of talent, achievement, and memorable performances.
