Morgan Wallen and ‘Yellowstone’ Will Each Receive Awards at the 2022 ACM Honors
Written by worldOneFm on June 1, 2022
Morgan Wallen received the Academy of Country Music Award for Album of the Year earlier in 2022; the controversial star will be honored by the organization a second time later this year. The 15th annual ACM Honors is set for Aug. 24 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, with special awards being presented to Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, and the TV drama Yellowstone.
Wallen will receive the ACM Milestone Award, which is given to an artist or industry leader for “specific, unprecedented, or outstanding achievement in the field of Country Music during the preceding calendar year,” according to a release. After he was recorded on camera using a racial slur, Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album spent 10 weeks at Number One in all genres and has spent 60 weeks in the Top 10 since its release. Past Milestone Award recipients include Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.
