Carly Pearce and Lee Brice Over the Moon Becoming Early Winners at 2021 ACM Awards Music Just days before the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards is being held in Nashville, Tennessee, the 'I Hope You're Happy Now' collaborators learn that they have snagged one trophy. Apr 16, 2021 Lee Brice will be heading to Sunday's (April 18) ACM Awards as winners after scoring the Music Event of the Year trophy for their hit "I Hope You're Happy Now". The stars, who will perform the tune during the prizegiving, learned they were winners on Thursday, April 15 and Brice can't wait to get up onstage and sing after a positive COVID-19 test forced him to pull out of a set with Carly at the CMA Awards in November 2020.
