It was no doubt a HUGE night for Luke Bryan who walked away with the fan voted – Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. In complete shock, Bryan was brought to tears. It was also his first time co-hosting with his buddy Blake Shelton, who also had a big night with his wife Miranda Lambert.
Other deserving winners included Eric Church, Little Big Town, Jason Aldean, and more. Highlighted performances included Stevie Wonder, Hunter Hayes, Brad Paisley and John Mayer, Tim McGraw w/ Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, and more. Perhaps though, the real highlight was when living legends Garth Brooks and George Strait paid tribute to Dick Clark.
