ACM Awards 2019: Complete list of winners, best and worst moments

Country duo Dan + Shay continued their career-making year at the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night, as they won three awards — the most of any act — and became the night’s running joke.

Even Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney themselves, clearly overwhelmed, were self-deprecating by the time they gave their third speech. "I think somebody got the cards mixed up," Smyers deadpanned as they accepted the award for vocal duo. They also walked away with song and single of the year for the ballad "Tequila," the smash that earned them their first Grammy for duo/group performance.
