The 52nd annual Academy of Country Music awards (ACM Awards) took place last night at the T-mobile arena in Nevada, US. Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley returned to host the award show for the third year in a row, with the show also being the fourth year with Luke as a presenter. As well as this, the show saw a variety of performances throughout the night including country stars Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, and Jason Aldean. There were also various duets from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Reba Mcentire and Lauren Daigle, and Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood.
Furthermore, we got an amazing duet from Thomas Rhett and Maren Morris as they debuted their new single ‘Craving You’. One of the biggest highlights from the night, however, came from country duo Florida Georgia Line singing with 90’s boyband The Backstreet Boys. The awards were a great night all round, and you can find the full list of winners below.
