    Ella Langley and Riley Green Capture ACM Single of the Year for Their Heartfelt Anthem “You Look Like You Love Me”

    Ella Langley and Riley Green Win ACM Single of the Year for “You Look Like You Love Me” at the 60th Annual ACM Awards

    May 8, 2025 – It was a night of milestones and magic at the 60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, held at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. With Reba McEntire at the helm as host and a jaw-dropping lineup of performances, the evening celebrated not just country music’s past — but its future. And nowhere was that more evident than in the win for Single of the Year.

    “You Look Like You Love Me” Takes the Crown
    In a category packed with fan-favorite hits, it was Ella Langley and Riley Green’s emotional duet, “You Look Like You Love Me,” that took home the ACM Award for Single of the Year — a major triumph for both artists.

    Nominated alongside heavyweights like Chris Stapleton, Post Malone & Morgan Wallen, Shaboozey, and Cody Johnson, the win was a career-defining moment — especially for Langley, who continues her breakout year with this massive accolade.

    Reba McEntire made the announcement herself, adding extra weight to an already emotional victory.

    Acceptance Speech Highlights
    Ella Langley, fresh off the stage from performing her latest single “If It Weren’t for the Wind,” rushed to accept the award with emotion in her voice:

    “I’m still out of breath… and I feel like I kind of have been since this song came out,” she laughed.
    “Writing it taught me to not care so much and just write what you love.”

    Riley Green followed up with a heartfelt nod to their shared Southern roots:

    “I’m so proud of Ella and how she represents the state of Alabama with me.”

    A Win That Means More
    Released in June 2024, “You Look Like You Love Me” quickly soared up the charts, earning Langley her first and Green his second Country Airplay #1. The song’s heartfelt lyrics and undeniable chemistry between the duo resonated deeply with listeners — and now, it has industry recognition to match.

    Celebrating a New Era
    With this win, Langley and Green have not only cemented the success of their collaboration — they’ve also marked a generational moment for country music, where fresh voices and classic storytelling collide.

    Congratulations to the entire team behind “You Look Like You Love Me” on this well-deserved ACM Award!
