There she goes again.<\/p>\n

Walking into the 2019 ACM Honors ceremony at the Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday night (Aug. 21), Miranda Lambert was already the most-awarded artist in the Academy of Country Music\u2019s history. And walking out, she added a 33rd ACM Award to her cement her status. She was given the prestigious ACM Gene Weed Milestone award.<\/p>\n

Keith Urban was the one tasked with presenting the award to Lambert, and he did so with a story about seeing a little bit of himself in her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2005, Miranda came out and we toured together. It\u2019s crazy \u2014 that was 14 years ago,\u201d Urban told the crowd. \u201cWhat I love about her is that I saw a kindred spirit right away. She did what I used to do: whoever I was opening for, I used to sit in front of the stage and watch every show and I\u2019d be taking mental notes. She was at the front of my show every night we played. And I remember thinking, \u2019I know that person really well.\u2019 And now, watching your journey go from that to making records that were always about you. You followed your muse wherever you went. You made the records you wanted to make. You stayed true to yourself, and here you are accepting this award.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it was time for Lambert to put her gratitude into words, at the very end of the show, she was nearly speechless. \u201cI am so humbled. I\u2019m standing on this Ryman stage in front of one of my heroes,\u201d Lambert said. She went on to thank the people on her team and at her label, giving special praise to the early believers who saw her talent when she was just a teenager playing clubs in Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mostly just want to thank Nashville, and the people who move here because they loved country music. I couldn\u2019t believe that we\u2019d get to live this amazing life and follow our dreams and just be part of this awesome family. Some days it feels like I\u2019ve been doing it for two days, and some days it feels like 200 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ll never get over it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gene Weed Milestone award was created to acknowledge the person in country music who had an unprecedented and outstanding year of achievements. So for example, in 2018, with her ACM Awards wins for \u201cTin Man\u201d as song of the year and for the female vocalist award, Lambert became the most-awarded history since the Academy started keeping track. Past recipients of the Gene Weed Milestone Award include Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, George Burns, Kenny Chesney, Jeff Foxworthy, Merle Haggard, Gayle Holcomb, Sam Hunt, Loretta Lynn, Little Big Town, Willie Nelson, Jennifer Nettles, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood.<\/p>\n
