Brandi Carlisle is so talented, it's ridiculous. Her voice is so heavenly.

This is one of the few times I feel unaffected that another performer won a Female Artist award over Carrie. Incredibly well-deserved and absolutely the correct choice. Kacey has done an excellent job representing the country format this year and she deserves that recognition.

Two out LGBTQ+ artists performed at the ACMs tonight! Still a long way to go, but that's pretty freakin' cool.

Y e s! It's about time someone kicked Jason out from EOTY! And Keith was probably the best one to do so!

I have to say for me overall, the ACM. Awards wasn't good, Kacey shouldn't have won Female Artist. The only good part of the ACM's was Reba's hosting, for the rest of the show , it basically stunk.

I'm shocked, happy for Keith, but his current product is so bad, sigh
And George to take us out...apparently ACM's is really just pretending that he's still the artist of the decade

Honestly, no complaints with the winners this year. Pretty spot-on minus Video...

Ugh I hate that George's performance of "Every Little Honky Tonk Bar" got cut at the end of the first chorus (didn't even make it to the end of the first chorus), that was the performance I was looking forward to the most! Such disrespect to King George.

Dierks Bentley deserves some awards that actually are televised. The dude is criminally underrated.

Of all the times for Keith to win EOTY this was not it. He deserved this quite a few times but not this year.
Missed the first half of the show but what I saw performance wise in the second half was mediocre. Bad song choices and bad singing.
When does the voting end? Did the voters give Kacey the album award so not to look like idiots?

With all the noise about lack of females in EOTY, I fully expect at least one female in EOTY this next CMAs as well as next year’s ACMs.... looking like Carrie, Kacey, and/or Maren right now to make that happen. Would love to see more than one, but definitely expecting changes nonetheless.

I think they'd be wise to expand Entertainer of the Year to at least 6 to 8 nominees as 5 feels way too small for that award.
Out of all of the nominees I feel like Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean had the biggest years. Wasn't Keith Urban's last album panned by critics?

[/quote The others won when they weren’t exactly deserving, but imo, and evidently others, feel like he deserves it!! Did you see his concert at Bridgestone Arena during his tour? He blew the roof off the place and he toured Australia, Canada, and Europe with all rave reviews! So he deserved it as much as anybody else!

Just to close the topic out...
It was absolutely criminal how they not only shut Kelsea Ballerini out of the Female Artist category, but I’m assuming did not extend her a performance slot despite “Miss Me More” being one of the Top 10 country songs in the nation. Hopefully she will fare better this fall at the CMAs.

So when John Osborne showed up on the TV screen (The "Up next, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne..." thing) I was like "Why is Chris Stapleton performing AGAIN?" #oops You are not alone...

I have only watched bits and pieces, but I honestly think they dropped the ball with Kacey and Kelsea. All the weird performances and no Kacey? Did she refuse to perform? Did they offer her a small slot and she didn't accept? I would love to know what happened... And Kelsea, what happened there? Did they want her to sing with some random dude? How about letting Miranda sit this one out since they can't let more x number of female artist sing and offer her spot to Kacey or Kelsea? Kelsea was watching it, as she commented on several parts... And I loved any excuse to have Maddie & Tae & Mickey Guyton on stage, but the barely disguised paid for movie promo is a bit cringey IMO
I was surprised they let Keith sing a cover until I saw that he won Entertainer - still slightly ridiculous. I'm happy Kacey got the trifecta, but otherwise the decisions kind of ruined the show for me.
Also I loved the Brothers Osbourne honesty on the redcarpet about country music! And promoting female artists!

How many artists took the stage more than once last night? Seemed like an unusually large number. Yet no slots for Kelsea and Kacey is just weird.
I feel like Keith is winning these EOTYs a year or two late. Ripcord was a huge commercial success, and Graffiti U not so much.

The Kacey Musgraves performance snub controversy might have involved Reba who hosted and co-produced the show last night. It seems there was some tension between the two. First, in Reba’s opening monologue included a joke involving females being snubbed from Entertainer Of The Year and singling Kacey out which at the end of when the camera panned to Kacey she was shaking her head in annoyance. Second, I personally didn’t see this on TV BUT obviously it in the article below it did happen. Kasey snubbing Reba during her performance. I guess Reba had something to do with Kacey not performing. Why Reba did this and the comment in the beginning of the show I have no idea! Being a Reba fan for 30 years I hope Reba wasn’t involved www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kacey-musgraves-slammed-on-social-media-for-not-standing-for-reba-mcentires-acm-awards-performance

And...she gave her a massive shoutout in her opening monologue last night. 3) Why must we pick apart women all the damn time? Who cares if she sat, stood, squatted, or kneeled? Chris Stapleton sat through most performances and acceptance speeches. Where’s the story on that? 4) It’s not even mildly surprising that f**king Fox News posts an article picking apart an openly-liberal millennial female country music singer over, literally, nothing. Glad they’ve got their bottom-notch interns scouring Twitter for some accounts with 7 followers each thrashing Kacey Musgraves over, again, literally nothing.
