The show was not without drama, and if you haven’t watched the full episode, you might want to stop reading as there are some spoilers ahead. Jason Aldean won the coveted prize of Entertainer of the Year for both 2016 and 2017. Not all country music fans were thrilled with the win as some rooted for Keith Urban to get the prize. One fan was so upset, she commented on the official Facebook site that she might not watch the ACMs again and suggested the award show might be rigged since Keith Urban was “snubbed.”

Co-host Dierks Bentley performed with Cole Swindell, and the fans went wild. Their performance was energetic and entertaining. Still, some felt that the show strayed a bit from the country and there was more pop music than what they associated with the country music genre. Some questioned the performers’ attire, including Cole’s choice in a baseball hat. Wha did you think of their performance? Do you like their outfits? Do you think country music has lost touch with its roots?

Another highlight of the evening was Miranda Lambert taking home the award for “Best Female Vocalist of the Year.” In Lambert’s acceptance speech she gave a shout out to Carrie Underwood and said, “Carrie can sing me under the table, we’ve both agreed on that.” Though Miranda’s fans were thrilled with her win, Carrie’s fans felt that like Keith Urban, she had been snubbed of the win.
