Yesterday, the ACM awarded Washington sensation Zach Top with the New Male Artist of the Year award. Today, we now have both of our new artists of the year, as it's been announced that Ella Langley has won the New Female Artist of the Year award.
Ella Langley is among the likes of Megan Moroney; they've received huge success in the past year. Langley specifically has seen a rise in attention thanks to her duets with Riley Green, "You Look Like You Love Me" and "Don't Mind If I Do."
Of course, her success isn't just due to her duets with Green. Her 19-track album still hungover had a few incredibly popular singles, such as "weren't for the wind" and "paint the town blue."
It's of little wonder that Ella Langley took home the trophy, although it's still a huge accomplishment.

The award was sprung on Ella Langley as she was performing on stage during her Rock The Country set. A video posted to her Instagram shows her live reaction to the news, and the sweet message she has for her fans as she holds her award.
While she was performing, the screens came to life, and Miranda Lambert announced the news. When she revealed that Ella Langley won the award, she simply doesn't know what to do with herself. With a cracked voice, she says, "God bless America."
After the show, she says through tears how much the award means to her. It's something she's been dreaming about every day, and she's beyond grateful to her fans.
"Literally everything I've ever done was to be able to do this," she says between tears. "I'm so grateful for the team I have around me."
It's a huge accomplishment, and all of her fans are so proud of her.
