Country music's rising stars Ella Langley and Riley Green have clinched an early victory ahead of the 2025 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, winning the Visual Media of the Year award for their hit duet, "You Look Like You Love Me." The announcement was made during their joint performance at the Country Thunder festival in Tampa, Florida, when country legend and 18-time ACM host Reba McEntire surprised them with a video message revealing their win.
The award-winning music video, co-directed by Langley, is set in a Wild West saloon and features a cameo by fellow Alabama native Jamey Johnson as the sheriff. The cinematic piece showcases Langley's directorial talents and storytelling prowess.
