Clint Black Shines At The 2023 ACM Honors: A Night Of Recognition And Tribute

Clint Black was among the biggest honorees of the night during the 2023 ACM Honors on Monday evening (Sept. 18), and he delivered a hilarious acceptance speech that was one of the true highlights of the ceremony. The event, held at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, showcased not only Black's musical achievements but also the camaraderie and respect among country music artists. Black's charm and humor shone through as he accepted the ACM Poet's Award, recognizing his significant contributions to country music, particularly as a songwriter.

During his speech, Black quipped that he would like to say the award made him feel humbled, but he candidly admitted, "that wouldn't be truthful." This playful honesty is part of what makes him a beloved figure in the country music community. He took the opportunity to highlight historical figures who had never received the award, playfully mentioning Edgar Allen Poe and Francis Scott Key, and thanked the ACM for "helping me put them in their places."

As Black expressed gratitude towards his family and the audience for their unwavering support, the night continued with musical tributes. Lady A delivered a stunning performance of "A Bad Goodbye," a song that originally featured Wynonna Judd. The 2023 ACM Honors celebrated not only Clint Black but also other notable artists, creating a memorable evening for all present.
