Sam Hunt Missed the ACMs to Be at a Friend's Wedding

Sam Hunt wasn’t able to accept his ACM win in person because he was celebrating love instead.

The country superstar took to Instagram to thank the ACM Awards for naming him the recipient of Single Record of the Year for “Body Like a Back Road” and explain his absence.

“Thank you Academy Of Country Music for the award for Single of the Year,” he writes. “I was celebrating the marriage of my long time [sic] friend and tour manager John Worthington. This made the weekend extra special. See y’all next year!”

Chris Stapleton also wasn’t in attendance to accept his two wins at the 53rd annual event.

The “Broken Halos” singer was home with wife Morgane and their newborn twin sons, the birth of whom Reba announced live on the ACMs.
