Last night the 55th Annual ACM Awards went live from Nashville, TN! The awards were a little different this year due to social distancing measures, but it sure was an incredible show to watch! Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Combs, the five nominees for the biggest award- Entertainer Of The Year, kicked off the show with a super fun medley of some older tunes. It started the show with a bang and although there wasn't an audience, the energy they brought made it feel like the crowd was huge!
Three staple venues were used for performances and award presentations- the Bluebird Cafe, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Grand Ole Opry. The show, hosted by Keith Urban, was broadcast between the three venues, each one providing a different experience for viewers. Notable performances throughout the evening included a 'Women in Country' tribute from our queen Carrie Underwood, an awesome collab between Keith Urban & Pink, our boys Dan & Shay, lovebirds Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani, our Canadian gal Tenille Townes, and of course Taylor Swift with an intimate performance of her new song "Betty." These, plus many other memorable performances provided for a very entertaining evening to say the least.
Many of our fave artists took home awards- check out the full list below!
