LAS VEGAS — The 54th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 7 were hosted by country music superstar Reba McEntire it was her 16th time — breaking a record.
The singer/sitcom star had jokes, and she talked about the fact it recently snowed in Las Vegas.
"It was so cold it froze us women out of entertainer of the year," she quipped.
McEntire also joked about some of the more unique duets out there, teasing that she and Cardi B would be doing a song titled, "There's No 'U' in Oklahoma and That's Okuurrrtt with Me," using the rapper's now-famous catch phrase.
Florida Georgia Line opened the show with Jason Aldean, performing its song "Can't Hide Red." Aldean was presented the ACM Dick Clark artist of the decade award.
"This Is Us" star Chrissy Metz made her live performance singing debut on the show with a song from her new film, "Breakthrough."
The actress perfomed the movie's anthem, "I'm Standing With You," joined by singers Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Mickey Guyton and Maddie & Tae.
Other performers throughout the night included Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Maren Morris and Keith Urban.
