Luke Combs took home the night's most coveted award Entertainer of the Year for the very first time,  while Chris Stapleton was the big winner in terms of hardware, taking home four trophies including his third Album of the Year win for “Starting Over,” while the album’s title track also took Song of the Year and Single of the Year and Chris himself won Male Vocalist of the Year for the fifth time.

• Other big winners of the night included: Carly Pearce, Female Vocalist of the Year; Brothers Osborne, Vocal Duo of the Year, Old Dominion, who won Vocal Group of the Year for a fourth straight time, Jimmie Allen, New Artist of the Year; and Kelsea Ballerini and Kenny Chesney, who won Video of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for “Half of My Hometown.” (click here for a complete recap of last night's show.)
