The Stars were back for a great night of country music on the ACM Awards!
Cuntry’s cutest couples shined on the red carpet
Who wore it best?
My favorite of the night had to be Carrie- that dress, the make-up both gorgeous! She sang “Cry Pretty” but I was ugly crying watching
worst…sorry Florida Georgia Line
See all of the Best and Worst from Taste of Country
Reba McEntire returned to host the ACM Awards for a record 17th time
She knocked it out of the park. In case you missed it, check out her hilarious opening monologue!
Here she is, your 53rd Annual #ACMawards host, the legendary @reba! Who’s ready to get this party started?! pic.twitter.com/wK80Z56uw1

Best line of the night!
She’s still got it…even wearing the same iconic dress 25 years later to perform “Does He Love You”
“Does He Love You” in 1993 and 2018. Same @reba. Same dress. #ACMawards pic.twitter.com/LBkfLyjgBL

but check out what was under that dress LOL
Her performance with Kelly Clarkson was my favorite of the night…and it was made even better watching Luke Bryan rocking out in the audience!
Did you love this performance of #DoesHeLoveYou as much as @LukeBryanOnline loved it? #ACMawards @kelly_clarkson @reba ? pic.twitter.com/kHRdYJRjPW
