The 2025 ACM Awards may still be days away, but Ella Langley and Riley Green are already celebrating big wins\u2014and in the most unexpected way. While performing their hit duet \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me\u201d at Country Thunder in Tampa on May 2, the duo got a surprise video message from none other than Reba McEntire herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ella<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The country legend (and 18-time ACM Awards host!) popped up on screen mid-performance to deliver the news: Ella and Riley had officially won Visual Media of the Year for the music video of their flirty, chart-topping duet. The moment caught the crowd\u2014and the artists\u2014completely off guard in the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ella<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSorry to interrupt, but I have some big news,\u201d Reba said in the clip. \u201cCongratulations to Ella and Riley! Can\u2019t wait to celebrate with you both in Frisco!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ella, the surprises just keep coming. Just a week earlier, she found out she\u2019d won New Female Artist of the Year while on stage at Rock the Country in Knoxville. That announcement came via another video message\u2014this time from her close friend and collaborator, Miranda Lambert. Miranda called Langley her \u201csoul sister in country music,\u201d passing the torch nearly two decades after winning the same award herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two ACM Awards already in the bag, Langley heads into the official ceremony as the most-nominated artist of the night. She\u2019s still in the running for Female Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Event of the Year\u2014all tied to her red-hot duet with Riley Green. And yes, both artists are nominated as songwriters on \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me,\u201d too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The twangy, slow-burning track has already made major waves\u2014hitting No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart, cracking the Top 10 on Hot Country Songs, and even landing in the Top 40 of the Hot 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss the full celebration! The 60th ACM Awards air live on May 8, streaming globally on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch. The show kicks off at 8 p.m. ET from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and runs for two-and-a-half hours of pure country magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
