Not the best intro....but Brad and Carrie are so good. Way better than Luke/Dierks from last year. Agreed. I think Brad and Carrie get better material though too. Even Brad and Carrie delivering most of those jokes would have fell flat. I loved the 1 woman for 2 men joke, but the rest were pretty corny.

Kenny, can we please wear something other than a tank to an awards show performance?

Glad Reba is back hosting! I thought her opening was great. Didn't think the jokes were flat at all.
Also glad we're getting this monotoned mess from Kenny out of the way first, too.

I love Reba so much. Also wondering if this is it for Maren at country awards shows & does she go out on top?

Maren is giving me Shania vibes with those "Vegas" letters and whole look tonight. She looks beautiful.

Good heavens Maren Morris is hot. Only thing that saved that performance. Thanks Chris for reminding us this is a show about singing. Nicely done!

Chris Young sounds great, but this song is so beneath him. Ugh.

It seemed like the music was a little ahead of Maren’s singing. It was an okay performance imo.

I don't know....maybe I am being over-critical, but it was bad to my ears. Her phrasing was a bit off but I'm not surprised, given how fast-paced the chorus of "Rich" is. Otherwise I thought her voice and tone sounded pretty good.

Very curious to see how Alan and Jon blend tonight. I think this could be a highlight worthy performance.

Maren Morris always sounds shaky vocally on live TV imo. I was actually really impressed last fall when I saw her live because even though I love her/her music, I went into her show not expecting her vocals to be the best, but she killed it. Some artists just don't do the best on these platforms. Still think she was decent tonight though. That aside, her song choice + stage presence + set design easily beat the offerings from Kenny Chesney and Chris Young we've seen so far.

Also Reba confirmed that Chris Stapleton isn't there tonight since Morgane could have their twin babies at literally any moment.
Don't think that that will affect whether or not Stapleton brings home any hardware.

I thought Reba did a good job to start off the show, and I really liked the very beginning talking about being back in Vegas that was done well.
Kenny sounded really bad but Maren sounded good, though a little out of breath at times.
Chris Young did not sound good at all though, not sure if it is just the song isn't good or he was just off I don't know.

At least the only nominee that deserved a spot ended up winning! Congrats Miranda!

Am I gonna get shot for LIKING this FGL/Bebe performance??? If you are then I am too. I actually liked it. Tyler didn't sound great at first but as soon as he got to the chorus he sounded tolerable, and I thought Bebe sounded pretty good. This Song of the Year category is still such a mess but thank goodness "Tin Man" won. It's really cool to see Jack Ingram on stage at the ACMs!

It seemed like Miranda really wanted to win there. So glad for her and for the song. It deserved it.

Brett Young’s hair looks like he is taking a school picture in the 3rd grade. But I love that song and him a lot.
