At the 60th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards on May 8, 2025, country music legend Alan Jackson was honored with the inaugural Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by fellow icon Reba McEntire. This new award recognizes artists who have made significant contributions to country music over their careers.
During the ceremony, Jackson delivered a heartfelt performance of his 2003 hit “Remember When” and expressed deep gratitude in his acceptance speech, acknowledging the support of his fans and family. He also humorously remarked on the honor, recalling how a fan once named their dog after him, and now this award is a significant milestone in his career.
The 60th ACM Awards, held at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, were streamed live on Prime Video and featured a star-studded lineup of performances and tributes, celebrating six decades of country music.
