The show celebrated its 50th wonderful an emotional, this is what makes it special each year. Below is a list of winners and a short review just in case you missed out on it.

The show opened with a medley and included surprises. There was quite a bit of tissues being used when Randy Travis, who suffered a near fatal stroke 3 years ago, came out onto the stage. This erupted into a sing along of ‘Forever and ever Amen’, there was not a dry eye in the house.

The Dixie Chicks and Beyoncé put on an electrifying performance to plenty of mixed reviews, but none the less it was electrifying to see this collaboration. There was a comedic showing from Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley as they interacted with football quarterback Brett Manning who was in the audience to support Kenney Chesney. This included the host taking a mocking approach to his insurance commercials and it was golden to watch. The question on quite a few minds today is: is Taylor Swift coming back to country?
