Alan Jackson held back tears while accepting the first-ever ACM Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 ACM Awards on Thursday, May 8.
Live from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, ACM Awards host Reba McEntire presented the country music legend with the coveted award after his tear-jerking performance of “Remember When.”
“Alan, you know we love you,” McEntire before handing the trophy to Jackson. “It’s quite an honor.”
