The 2025 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards red carpet? A moment. Country stars hit the scene ready to turn heads wearing sparkles and boots that could probably headline their own tour. It seems like everyone got the memo to bring the drama, because this lineup delivered everything from poppin’ rhinestones to sleek glam; and it’s all perfectly camera-ready. We’re talking bold colors, wild textures, and more “wait, whoa” fits than a TikTok recap can handle.

Before the Red Carpet
Want to know what went down before the red carpet? The ACM “Play Something Country” gala, of course. This event kicked off the celebrations with legends, loud guitars, and lots of love for Brooks & Dunn. Big names like Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Megan Moroney hit the stage to cover the duo’s classics—all while raising money for ACM Lifting Lives’ mental health programs. And yes, Brooks & Dunn closed it out with a full-stage singalong.
