The "Jolene" singer, who also served as the night's host, came to the stage after the tribute, where she was greeted with a big hug from Clarkson. With the ACM Awards returning to Las Vegas, it only made sense that Allen and Barrett would kick things off with a celebration of the party city. While the song itself is dark, his incredible performance proved to be one of the most memorable of the night.

Aldean made a grand entrance, rising from beneath the stage with a grand piano and passionately singing the song’s opening notes. The 2022 ACM Awards took place on Monday night (March 7) and featured a host of country music’s biggest and most critically acclaimed stars. Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood gave ACM viewers and attendees a joint performance of “If I Didn’t Love You,” much to the audience’s delight.

After much hype, the Academy of Country Music Awards officially became the first major award show to switch from broadcast television to streaming-only on ...

Many fans on social media were puzzled to see Bryan perform “Up,” as well as his hit “Buy Dirt” with Jordan Davis, given the “American Idol” judge had a big concert scheduled at the Houston Rodeo on Monday night. Church was introduced as a superstar with a 16-year career, and while he has plenty of hits, he decided to play snippets of more than a dozen. (The spokeswoman added it was mentioned in an earlier news release.) Any new version of an award show has to make adjustments, but there were definitely some bumps — it was jarring to see the show at a stadium, rather than its former home of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, especially because it was still light outside when it started. Stapleton released “Watch You Burn” — a rage-filled track aimed at the mass shooter at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas — in 2020. The duo capped off the night with an electric performance of their song “Skeletons,” followed by a collaboration with fellow Maryland native Brittney Spencer on Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” Rhett, long an industry favorite, continues to grow stronger as a live performer; he threw himself into his latest single, “Slow Down Summer,” starting at the piano. “I was backstage trying not to cry my false eyelashes off!” Parton exclaimed. Hosting is often a thankless job, and Allen and Barrett gamely hung in there, though they clearly knew that their roles were to serve as Parton’s sidekicks. In a rare move for country music award shows, which normally prefer that you don’t talk about anything topical, Parton kicked things off by bringing up Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I don’t want to be political, and this is not; I’d rather pass a kidney stone than do that,” said Parton, who often shies away from politics. Clarkson’s attempt at a country music career didn’t really work, but the pop superstar turned daytime talk show host proved that she can continue to crush any vocal from any genre. But producers made sure to bring in the star power, enlisting country icon Dolly Parton to co-host with rising stars Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett.
