GEORGE STRAIT walked away with the coveted, fan-voted “Entertainer of the Year” prize last night (4/6), during the "49th ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS” at the MGM GRAND's "Grand Garden Arena" in LAS VEGAS.
STRAIT's win followed his CMA Entertainer of the Year last NOVEMBER. He is currently on his farewell tour, dubbed "The Cowboy Rides Away." SUNDAY's win comes 30 years after STRAIT's first-ever ACM award, in 1984.
JASON ALDEAN and MIRANDA LAMBERT won Male and Female Vocalist Of The Year Awards, respectively. For ALDEAN, the honor marked his second consecutive Male Vocalist trophy. LAMBERT’s win in the Female category, plus her earlier “Single of the Year” prize for “Mama’s Broken Heart” and "Vocal Event" award, shared with KEITH URBAN for "We Were Us" raised her career ACM win total to 18.
