The ACM Awards were held in Las Vegas last night and live-streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Hosted by the legendary Dolly Parton and her co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, the show did not fail to entertain by any means. This year the Academy of Country Music and the performers went all in and put on one hell of a show with outstanding energetic and emotional performances by Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, Jimmie Allen, Carly Pearce & Ashley McBryde, Maren Morris, Thomas Rhett, Breland, Lainey Wilson, Brothers Osborne (as a duo and with Brittney Spencer), Dolly & Kelsea Ballerini. Parmalee with Blanco Brown and Brooke Eden, Parker McCollum, Walker Hayes, Kane Brown, Chris Young (solo and with Mitchell Tenpenny), Luke Bryan (solo and with Jordan Davis), Jason Aldean & Carrie Underwood, and an emotional and a perfectly timed and much needed encouraging rendition of LeAnn Womack's classic "I Hope You Dance" by Gabby Barrett.
This was the show of the year and this is coming from a girl who normally finds a reason to change the channel during awards shows. I loved the whole show, but I really loved the streaming format. I know it resulted in some people who weren't Prime members not being able to watch, but this format allowed for virtually no commercials other than the occasional preview of new Amazon Prime shows, which meant this allowed for more new and upcoming artists to be showcased and give full performances. Well done everyone!
