    What Is the ACM’s Triple Crown Award?
    The Academy of Country Music (ACM)’s Triple Crown Award is one of the most prestigious honors in the genre — a rare distinction that celebrates an artist’s sustained excellence across every major tier of their career.

    How Do You Win the Triple Crown?
    To earn the Triple Crown, an artist must win all three of the following ACM Awards in their respective categories:

    New Artist of the Year (New Male, New Female, or New Duo/Group)

    Artist of the Year (Male, Female, Duo, or Group)

    Entertainer of the Year

    It’s not just about chart-topping hits — it’s a recognition of career progression, industry impact, and connection with fans over time.

    Recent and Notable Recipients
    Only a select few artists have achieved this milestone, making it one of country music’s elite clubs. Past honorees include:

    Merle Haggard

    Kenny Chesney

    Brooks & Dunn

    Carrie Underwood

    Miranda Lambert

    Chris Stapleton

    Jason Aldean

    Barbara Mandrell

    Mickey Gilley

    Lainey Wilson (2024 recipient)

    Keith Urban Finally Receives His Triple Crown
    After winning Entertainer of the Year in 2019, Keith Urban officially qualified for the Triple Crown — but never received the physical award… until now.

    At the 60th ACM Awards on May 8, 2025, Urban was formally presented with the Triple Crown live onstage, making him the first artist to receive it during the televised show since Carrie Underwood in 2010.

    A Tribute Fit for a Legend
    Before his acceptance, Urban was honored with a musical tribute by Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, and Brothers Osborne, who performed a medley of his career-defining hits.

    A Grateful, Humble Acceptance
    During his brief but moving speech, Urban:

    Thanked the tribute performers

    Expressed love for his wife Nicole Kidman: “I love you, baby girl.”

    Gave a shoutout to daughters Sunday and Faith

    Praised his team: “They work insanely hard.”

    Closed with heartfelt gratitude to his fans, calling them the reason behind it all

    Congratulations to Keith Urban — the newest official member of the ACM Triple Crown club.
    His journey proves that longevity, artistry, and authenticity still shine brightest in country music.
