The 2022 American Country Music Awards (ACMs) are here.
The highly anticipated 57th annual award show was co-hosted by the previously announced ACM male and female artists of the year nominees, Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, respectively, alongside the country music queen, Dolly Parton, at Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas on Monday.
Country music fans were wooed with performances by some of the genre’s brightest stars, including Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton and more.
Parton, who opened the evening by dedicating the entire show to Ukraine, performed a duet with Kelsea Ballerini. In addition, Kelly Clarkson performed a heartfelt tribute to Parton during the show.
