What a night! Hailed as “Country Music’s Party of the Year,” the 48th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards kicked off last night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. And with more than 15 million viewers tuning in, this year’s show was the most-watched in 15 years.

Hosted by Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, the three-hour show did not disappoint with lively performances from Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, & Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley & John Mayer, and Kelly Clarkson.

But the real stars of the show were the winners.

The biggest award of the night, Entertainer of the Year, went to Luke Bryan who triumphed over country heavyweights Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, and Taylor Swift.
