(Columbia) Before taking the stage for her sold-out stop on The Dandelion Tour in Savannah, GA Friday night, Ella Langley was surprised with the trophy for ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year ahead of Sunday night's 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, where she is also set to deliver a special performance.

The reigning ACM New Female Artist of the Year earned seven nominations this year, including her first-ever nod in the Artist-Songwriter of the Year category and her first producer nomination for Single of the Year with "Choosin' Texas."

Additional nominations include:
Female Artist of the Year
Song of the Year - "Choosin' Texas" (as Songwriter & Artist)
Single of the Year - "Choosin' Texas" (as Producer & Artist)
Music Event - "Dont Mind if I Do" with Riley Green

Last year, Ella emerged as one of the ceremony's biggest breakout stars, taking home five ACM Awards including New Female Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year (as both artist and producer).

Up next, Ella continues her sold-out headline arena run, The Dandelion Tour, in support of her acclaimed sophomore album Dandelion. The tour kicked off May 7 in Toledo, OH and runs through August 15 in Fort Worth, TX. Additional 2026 dates include more stadium stops with Morgan Wallen on the Still The Problem Tour and several major festival appearances.
