Last
night included some emotional moments during the Academy of Country Music Awards.
George Strait gave an emotional speech
after winning Entertainer of the Year.
Strait thanked his fans that came through for him, even after his announcement
earlier this year about retirement. Kacey
Musgraves, a “newbie” to the country music world, won Album of the Year with
her album Same Trailer Different Park. Another “newbie”, Justin Moore, won New
Artist of the Year. Song of the Year
went to Lee Brice with “I Drive Your Truck” and Video of the Year went to Tim
McGraw for “Highway Don’t Care” with Keith Urban and Taylor Swift. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan co-hosted the
show, and managed to ease some of the more emotional parts of the show with
their jokes and banter.
