Who won at the 2021 CMA Awards?

Chris Stapleton and Eric Church led the nominations with five nods each before the evening began, but it was the former who swept the board.

Stapleton came out on top in four of the five categories he was nominated in, winning in the Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year categories for his latest release "Starting Over."

After being given the best album award, he said in his acceptance speech: "I want to say thank you to everybody that listened to the record, everybody that listens to music—country music fans.

"It's always an honor to receive the album award. We work really hard to make albums—we believe in albums, and we like what that is."
