The ACM Awards don’t happen until September, but we already know two of the winners. Riley Green and Tenille Townes were both announced as winners of this year’s New Artist Male and Female categories, with both being surprised with the news by the show’s host Keith Urban.

Tenille thought she was sitting down for a virtual interview when Keith popped up to shock her with the news, while Riley was in the middle of a Zoom meeting when Keith crashed it.

Both artists are now set to perform on the ACM Awards, which will air on CBS September 16th. The awards will take place in Nashville for the first time, featuring performances from three historic venues - the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe. Check out Keith surprising the winners to the right.
