CMAs 2021 Winners: From Chris Stapleton to Kelsea Ballerini —Here's The Full List
The most glamorous night in the country music calendar, the 55th Country Music Association Awards (CMAs), took place on Wednesday, November 10.
Celebrating the best country music of the year at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the event saw 12 awards being given out over the course of the evening.
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."

Kelsea Ballerini was also victorious in multiple categories, as she won the Music Video of the Year and Musical Event of the Year awards.
Elsewhere, Carly Pearce was named Female Vocalist of the Year and she was moved to tears following her win, saying that country music "saved her."
Pearce added: "I've had just a crazy year, and I want you to know that this means everything to me."
In the group categories, Old Dominion triumphed in the Vocal Group of the Year award, and Brothers Osborne won Vocal Duo of the Year.
Jenee Fleenor was awarded the Musician of the Year award for her skills as a fiddle player, and Jimmie Allen was named the New Artist of the Year.
Luke Combs won the final award of the night, Entertainer of the Year, which was the only prize that Stapleton was nominated for and didn't win.
When he accepted the award, Combs claimed: "I don't deserve to win it, but I'm sure as hell glad that I did."
