Ella Langley's CMA Awards Wins: Her Full Record So Far

With Ella Langley leading the 2026 CMA Awards field and set to take the stage on November 18, a question we keep hearing from fellow fans is the simple one: how many CMA Awards has Ella Langley actually won so far? The short version is four, and every one of them traces back to a single song. Here's her complete CMA history going into this year's show, which trophies she's already holding, and which races are still open.

How many CMA Awards has Ella Langley won?

Ella Langley has won four CMA Awards, and all four were for "You Look Like You Love Me," her spoken-word duet with Riley Green. She won one at the 2024 CMA Awards and three more at the 2025 show. She has not won in any category that didn't involve that song, and she has no wins yet from this year's ceremony, which hasn't happened — the 60th CMA Awards air Wednesday, November 18.

That one song carried her from a first-time nominee to a four-time CMA winner in the span of two ceremonies, which is a big part of why 2026 feels like the year the rest of her catalog gets its turn.

2024 CMA Awards: her first win

Ella's first CMA came at the 2024 ceremony, when "You Look Like You Love Me" won Musical Event of the Year — the category for collaborations. It was the song's first major awards-show trophy and Ella's first CMA, shared with Riley Green, who wrote and spoke the second verse. For an artist who was still introducing herself to country radio at the time, winning a competitive CMA category out of the gate was the first real signal that the song was more than a viral moment.

2025 CMA Awards: a historic sweep

A year later, the same song did something no song had done before. At the 2025 CMA Awards, "You Look Like You Love Me" won three more categories in one night: Single of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Video of the Year (a video Langley co-directed). Stacked on top of the 2024 Musical Event win, that made it, per The Music Universe, the first song in CMA history to claim all four of those honors.

Ella was also nominated at the 2025 show for Female Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year, but didn't win either — so her CMA trophy count after two ceremonies stood at four, every one tied to that Riley Green duet. If you want the full accounting of the chart records she set across the same stretch, we keep that current in our Ella Langley Billboard records guide.

2026 CMA Awards: nine nominations, no wins yet

This is where it gets interesting. At the 60th CMA Awards, Ella Langley leads the entire field with nine nominations spread across seven categories — the most of anyone nominated this year — and for the first time the nominations are spread across her own catalog rather than concentrated in one duet. She's up for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year for Dandelion, two Single of the Year slots ("Choosin' Texas" and "Be Her"), Song of the Year, Musical Event of the Year for "I Can't Love You Anymore" with Morgan Wallen, and Music Video of the Year.

None of those are wins yet — the show hasn't aired. For our honest, category-by-category read on where she's the favorite and where the trophy probably goes elsewhere, see will Ella Langley win a CMA this year? And she won't just be watching from her seat: the CMA has confirmed her as a performer on the November 18 broadcast.

What to watch on November 18

Going in, Ella's CMA record is clean and lopsided: four wins, zero losses in categories she's taken home, and all of it for one song. The 2026 show is the test of whether that record broadens. A win in Female Vocalist or Entertainer of the Year would be her first CMA for something other than "You Look Like You Love Me," and the first that recognizes her as the year's defining artist rather than one great collaboration.
