There is no stopping Chris Stapleton.
The singer-songwriter won six of seven ACMs on Sunday night, including album of the year for "Traveller" and song of the year for "Nobody to Blame," besting Little Big Town's ubiquitous "Girl Crush."
He won so many awards that Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, winners of vocal group of the year, told the audience: "And thank you Chris Stapleton for not being a group!"
Stapleton's other wins included male vocalist and new male vocalist of the year. For album and song of the year, he won twice as the artist and songwriter-producer.
"Thank you for being so kind to me," Stapleton said onstage.
The wins come after taking home his first pair of Grammy Awards in February (best country album, country solo performance) and three-for-three wins at last year's Country Music Association Awards.
