Bryan scored the Entertainer nod at Sunday night's ACMs, held in Arlington, Texas on April 19. Bryan, who released his last full-length studio album Crash My Party in 2013, was also one of the co-hosts of the evening, along with Blake Shelton.

He had to beat Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line, Garth Brooks and Jason Aldean for the award. Bryan won one other award in the evening: Vocal Event of the Year, doing so as part of his "This Is How We Roll" duet with Florida Georgia Line.
