This years ACM’s were supposed to be held in Vegas back in April but due to Covid the were held tonight.
Keith Urban was the host and almost the entire show was acoustic performances from the artist.
Every single performance was fantastic but my favorite of the night was Eric Church and his rendition of Johnny Cash’s Ragged Ol Flag/Stick That In Your Country Song.
Overall it was just a great show.
It was so cool that they were spread between the Grand Ole Opry, The Bluebird Cafe and of course the Ryman Auditorium.
And in the surprise of the night there are Co-Entertainer Of The Year winners!
2020...of course!
