Last night, April 15, the 2018 Academy of Country Music awards aired on CBS. The show had some truly incredible performances, like those by Blake Shelton, Maren Morris, and Kane Brown and Lauren Alaina. While the show normally kicks off with smiles and jokes, this year's show began on a much more somber note. Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Maren Morris, and Thomas Rhett took the stage to pay tribute to the victims of the Route 91 Harvest festival mass shooting. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhnFditnOfe/?taken-byacmawards The show was hosted by the Queen of Country, Reba McEntire. The redhead did a wonderful job hosting the show, and she looked absolutely stunning. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bhm8L1OH_WD/?taken-byacmawards Another high note of the evening was Carrie Underwood's return to the stage.
