"I'm trying to get to say something, but I can't," Ella began. "Thank you [to] the women in this room."

The Strangers songstress further said, "Today I was having a strange day — I don't know what it is about awards. I walked right into Lainey [Wilson]'s room, and I just got emotional, and she hugged me, wrapped me up, and started praying for me."

"And then all of a sudden, here comes Miranda Lambert in her little pink hat. I would not be standing up here without just [the] encouragement of so many women. Kelsea [Ballerini], thank you so much for loving on me," she continued.

She also gave a special shout-out to Lauren Alaina, saying, "I love you so much."

Ella was nominated alongside Lainey, Miranda, Kelsea and Megan Moroney in this category. She also took home Female Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Single of the Year trophies.
