By Website Content Manager

After taking home two honors at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards, Miranda Lambert has now reached an impressive career total of 40 ACM victories.

Miranda Lambert added two more trophies to her impressive collection at last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards, further solidifying her place as the most-awarded artist in the show’s history.

During the star-filled ceremony, Lambert was honored for her contributions to Ella Langley’s chart-topping song “Choosin’ Texas.” She received the award for Single of the Year as one of the track’s producers and also earned Song of the Year as a co-writer alongside Luke Dick, Joybeth Taylor and Langley.

While accepting the Single of the Year award, the Texas-born singer reflected on the milestone moment, revealing that this year marked her 20th appearance at the ACM Awards. Lambert also thanked Langley for trusting her creative vision and praised co-producer Ben West for his work on Langley’s album Dandelion.

“I’m incredibly grateful that Ella allowed me to be part of her music,” Lambert shared during her speech. “Ben is such a talented producer, and I appreciate all the songwriters, musicians and everyone involved in making this record happen. It’s been a true blessing, and we’re thankful people continue to embrace country music.”

With these latest victories, Lambert’s career ACM total has now climbed to 40 awards, including several special honors received over the years.

Her Song of the Year win marked the eighth time she has claimed that category, extending her record even further. She previously earned the honor for songs including The House That Built Me, Over You, Automatic and Tin Man.

The Single of the Year award also tied the all-time ACM record with four wins in the category. Lambert previously earned the distinction with “The House That Built Me” in 2011, “Over You” in 2013 and Mama’s Broken Heart in 2014. This latest recognition additionally marked her first ACM victory as a producer.

The accomplishment places Lambert alongside fellow country legends Alan Jackson, George Strait and Tim McGraw as artists with four Single of the Year wins at the ACM Awards.
