ACM Awards 2026 Recap! Couples Take Over Country Music’s Big Night in Las Vegas

Description

Lainey Wilson and Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges made their red carpet debut as husband and wife at the 2026 ACM Awards, as Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, had their first big night out after having their fifth child together in February. Miranda Lambert and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, were on hand, too, but avoided a red-carpet run-in with her ex, Blake Shelton. He seemingly snuck inside the event with his wife, Gwen Sefani, whom Miranda saw perform with her band, No Doubt, at The Sphere while in Las Vegas for the awards. It was an exciting night for Miranda, who co-wrote Ella Langley’s 'Choosin' Texas,' which won Song of the Year, breaking the ACM record for most wins of the night with seven awards!
