Darius somehow ALWAYS gets performance slots. He's done like nothing this year.

Poor Dan & Shay having to follow that. But they did so good. This is becoming a career song for them. Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if "Tequila" is the song that will finally de-throne "Meant To Be" from #1 on Hot Country Songs. It probably won't happen until this summer though but that's fine with me, as I'll be more than fine if "Tequila" is all over the airwaves this spring and summer. "Tequila" is the song that could propel Dan + Shay to superstardom. They sounded incredible just now, although it's too bad they didn't get to perform the full song. Wow!!! Carrie's performance!! Sooooo incredible! That ovation!! And now "The Fighter" winning Vocal Event?!? That's a huge upset in my opinion, but I'm not complaining! I love the song a lot! (I'm one of the few here who does but idc). Congrats Carrie and Keith! USA Today thought "What Ifs" would get it. I thought "What Ifs" would be more likely to win than "The Fighter", but I thought "Dear Hate" was virtually a lock to win. Maren released it in response to the Harvest Festival tragedy, the ACMs are in Vegas, and it's Maren Morris plus Vince Gill, both of whom have tremendous respect in the industry. And that's not to say that Keith and Carrie don't have respect, as they certainly have a ton, but "The Fighter" was not a universally popular song in the country music community whereas I feel that "Dear Hate" was.

Darius somehow ALWAYS gets performance slots. He's done like nothing this year. I was going to say it's because he's co-headlining with Lady A this year, but he did pretty much the same as Rascal Flatts and they aren't performing tonight. Plus, they are going on tour as well...so who knows. As much as I love Darius, I would definitely prefer Flatts. EDIT: WTF!! What?! Miranda, I love her...but no. Not again.

are they joking? Miranda has no business winning this award this year
Carrie Underwood was AMAZING with her performance. Disappointed "The Fighter" won vocal event but I do like the song so I guess it is okay.

I wish Maren had won just for change, but Miranda had Tin Man and headlined 2 tours during the eligibility period... she's a deserving winner!

Miranda AT BEST had the third best year this year among females.
Just quit doing nominations if you aren't gonna actually look at what is going on and give it to her regardless.

Wow, I love Miranda but it is long, long, long overdue that someone else won that award. Maren (or at least Kelsea) deserved to be recognized for sure. Hopefully come CMA time one of the two of them (or Lauren, Carrie, or Kacey) will win Female

Siiiiiiigh, she's the only woman who headlined a tour this year, and Tin Man was a big hit....but it's exhausting the same old same old. Not going to change though till they stop block voting, or someone else signs with WME

Carrie tore it up, especially in the 2nd half. She was so into that song and vocal. Wow. Not a fan of the melody of the song, but that was terrific.
I love how the guys with Kelsea and Lauren were both in awe of Carrie. Lol. But, yeah, the audience was wowed throughout, and that extended ovation was something else.

I was hoping for Reba, but I'll take Miranda. Maren will win eventually I think, but it's pretty rare for someone to win Fensle or Male Vocalist on their debut album, so I'm not surprised that she didn't win.

She headlined a bunch of club venues a few years ago too, some of which her now husband opened for her on. I am glad she did a tour like that, something that was reasonably priced and not a big place so regardless where you stood, you got a good view.

I really like Miranda and thinks sheβs deserved a lot of the awards sheβs won, but the fact she has THREE TIMES as many FVOTY awards as Carrie is insane to me. There were definitely a few years in there where I think Carrie was robbed (this year not being one of them), so it makes it a bit less exciting to see Miranda win even if she did have the best/better year.
I think it should have been more like a 5-7 or 6-6 split over the past dozen years, not 9-3.

Was rooting for Maren to win Female Vocalist to shake it up, but I'm a huge Miranda Lambert fan and she had "Tin Man" going for favor this year, so... not surprising. Siiiiiiigh, she's the only woman who headlined a tour this year, and Tin Man was a big hit....but it's exhausting the same old same old. Not going to change though till they stop block voting, or someone else signs with WME Kelsea headlined a tour....not as big of venues, but lots of sellouts. Maren did, too, fwiw.

The sad part is they will give her that ovation and know she sang the hell out of the song in a way literally no one else in country music could and she could have 3 #1s next year...and still lose.
