Time flies, right?
[Cheering]

229
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,200
I still remember watching
my heroes--Loretta Lynn,

Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton
on this show,

231
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:43,033

part of it.

232
00:16:43,033 --> 00:16:46,233

hosting it 18 times.

00:16:46,233 --> 00:16:50,500
Thanks for having me back.
[Cheering and applause]

234
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,834
If you'd have told that
little redheaded,

235
00:16:52,834 --> 00:16:57,834
freckle-faced kid,
freckle-faced Okie,

236
00:16:57,834 --> 00:17:00,800
that she'd be here hosting
the 60th anniversary

237
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,233
of the ACM Awards, she would
have said, "When do we start?"

238
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:06,800
[Laughter]

239
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,433
Speaking of little girls who
probably can relate to that,

240
00:17:10,433 --> 00:17:14,032
our most nominated artist
tonight is Ella Langley.

241
00:17:14,032 --> 00:17:17,300

258
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:18,900
OK, so whoever wins tonight,
I can relate to this excitement

259
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:23,700
because I won it in 1995.
[Cheering]

260
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:28,333
And my friend Naomi Judd
handed me the trophy.

263
00:18:34,667 --> 00:18:36,567
I miss her.

264
00:18:36,567 --> 00:18:39,633
So to all you nominees,
enjoy tonight,

265
00:18:39,633 --> 00:18:42,700

266

So please just have fun.
[Cheering]

268
00:18:50,967 --> 00:18:55,867
Ah, tonight, the Academy of
Country Music is honoring

269
00:18:55,867 --> 00:18:59,433
a legend who's been rocking our
jukeboxes for a lifetime.

270
00:18:59,433 --> 00:19:03,767
We even got to co-host this
show together back in 1994,

271
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:06,767
the one and only Alan Jackson.

272
00:19:06,767 --> 00:19:13,600

273
00:19:24,233 --> 00:19:26,467
We love you, Alan.

274
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000

[Laughs]

280
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:47,567
And we'll be presenting
the ACM Triple Crown Award

281
00:19:47,567 --> 00:19:50,400
to everybody's favorite Aussie,
Keith Urban.

282
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,367
[Cheering]

283
00:19:55,367 --> 00:20:00,000
And because in country music,
it all starts with a song,

284
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,500
here to present the ACM
Award for Song of the Year,

285
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:08,333

and I know all 3 of us did--

1218
01:16:32,367 --> 01:16:34,066
we grew up on classic country--

1219
01:16:34,066 --> 01:16:36,100

of talking in it--

01:16:36,100 --> 01:16:41,400
Conway Twitty, Johnny Lee,
David Allan Coe,

1221
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:46,266
and if this song really changed
it for me as a songwriter,

1222
01:16:46,266 --> 01:16:49,934
it taught me to just
not care so much

1223
01:16:49,934 --> 01:16:53,100
and write what you love
and write what feels good,

1224
01:16:53,100 --> 01:16:55,000
and I couldn't have done it

1225

01:26:30,367 --> 01:26:34,166
we're also celebrating the power
of our country music community

1373
01:26:34,166 --> 01:26:37,000
to help and heal those
who need it every day.

1374
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,133
ACM Lifting Lives,

1375
01:26:39,133 --> 01:26:41,433
the Academy's
philanthropic partner,

1376
01:26:41,433 --> 01:26:45,633
provides aid in times of need
with a focus on health,

1377
01:26:45,633 --> 01:26:49,033
and our friends at St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital

1378
01:26:49,033 --> 01:26:52,367
are leading the way in how
the world understands, treats,

1379
01:26:52,367 --> 01:26:56,567
and defeats childhood cancer and
other life-threatening diseases.

1380
01:26:56,567 --> 01:26:59,500
Here's Riley Green showing
one meaningful way

1381
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:02,834
our country music family
comes together to help.

1382
01:27:02,834 --> 01:27:04,600
Green: Hey, I'm Riley Green,
and I'm back

1383
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,467
at St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital,

1384
01:27:06,467 --> 01:27:08,934
thanks to my friends
at ACM Lifting Lives.

1385
01:27:08,934 --> 01:27:12,000
Every time I'm here, I see how
these children fighting cancer

1386
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,734
faced the unimaginable

1387
01:27:13,734 --> 01:27:16,233
but do so with courage
and often with a smile.

1388
01:27:16,233 --> 01:27:18,834
It's amazing that families
never receive a bill

1389
01:27:18,834 --> 01:27:21,533
for treatment, travel,
housing, or food.

1390
01:27:21,533 --> 01:27:24,367
Performing here always reminds
me how therapeutic music is

1391
01:27:24,367 --> 01:27:26,333
and even more special to do so

1392
01:27:26,333 --> 01:27:28,467
in my "This shirt
saves lives" tee.

1393
01:27:28,467 --> 01:27:31,900
The country music community
has the ability to lift lives.

1394
01:27:31,900 --> 01:27:35,266
You can help right now
by going to musicgives.org

1395
01:27:35,266 --> 01:27:38,133
to donate and get your own
"This shirt saves lives" tee.

1396
01:27:38,133 --> 01:27:40,166
Donate now at musicgives.org.

1397
01:27:45,500 --> 01:27:47,433
[Applause]

1398
01:27:47,433 --> 01:27:49,200
Bones: This has been
a legendary night,

1399
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,533
legends everywhere.

1400
01:27:51,533 --> 01:27:53,734
If you're a legend,
raise your hand.

1401
01:27:53,734 --> 01:27:55,367
That's how you can
spot the legends.

1402
01:27:55,367 --> 01:27:57,867
Yeah. Everybody that raised
their hand is not a legend.

1403
01:27:59,533 --> 01:28:01,200
These are legends, right?

1404
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,433
Stand up. Stand up, winners.
Come on.

1405
01:28:04,433 --> 01:28:08,066
Are you not gonna? Stand up.

1406
01:28:08,066 --> 01:28:10,133
OK. All right. All right.

1407
01:28:10,133 --> 01:28:12,000
Just so you know,
Ronnie sang at my wedding.

1408
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,633
He's just acting cool right now,

1409
01:28:13,633 --> 01:28:15,367
but these two are gonna hit
the stage a little later.

1410
01:28:15,367 --> 01:28:16,834
Did you guys expect to win?

1411
01:28:16,834 --> 01:28:18,500
Dunn: Did we what?

1412
01:28:18,500 --> 01:28:20,200
Bones: Expect to win.

1413
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,000
Dunn: We did not!

1414
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,133
Bones: I don't know
why he yelled at me,

1415
01:28:24,133 --> 01:28:27,367
but Kix and Ronnie
have 26 ACM Awards

1416
01:28:27,367 --> 01:28:29,533
and 5 more special awards,

1417
01:28:29,533 --> 01:28:31,533
including the ACM Diamond
Chairman's Award,

1418
01:28:31,533 --> 01:28:33,533
which they were
honored with last night,

1419
01:28:33,533 --> 01:28:35,300
so congratulations.

1420
01:28:35,300 --> 01:28:37,000
They're gonna collaborate
with Cody Johnson

1421
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,667
coming up in just
a little bit right here.

1422
01:28:38,667 --> 01:28:40,734
I mean, just look around--

1423
01:28:40,734 --> 01:28:43,667
legend Kristian Bush,
legend after legend,

1424
01:28:43,667 --> 01:28:46,934
some guy with a with
his tips frosted--legend.

1425
01:28:46,934 --> 01:28:49,233
He's, like, 52
with frosted tips.

1426
01:28:49,233 --> 01:28:51,567
We love you, legend.
We love all of that.

1427
01:28:51,567 --> 01:28:53,533
It's the 60th anniversary
of the ACMs.

1428
01:28:53,533 --> 01:28:55,233
Thank you, guys, for being here,

1429
01:28:55,233 --> 01:28:58,133
and like Kix and Ronnie
always say,

1430
01:28:58,133 --> 01:29:02,633
only in America
and only on the 60th ACM Awards.

1431
01:29:04,100 --> 01:29:07,700
Announcer: Up next, 5 iconic

1451
01:29:56,333 --> 01:29:58,233
I'm so proud to be part of that,

01:29:58,233 --> 01:30:00,667

I've loved cheering you on

01:31:35,767 --> 01:31:38,233
you called your album
"Am I Okay?"

1483
01:31:38,233 --> 01:31:40,800
but you're so much more than OK.

you always dig deep

1496
01:32:17,367 --> 01:32:20,900
You were born about an hour
from here in Golden, Texas,

1497
01:32:20,900 --> 01:32:24,166

feeling like part of the family
right from the start.

1504
01:32:44,233 --> 01:32:46,767

and we're all pulling
for a 5-way tie.

1513

Wilson: Yeah.

1514

Evans: And the ACM Award
goes to--

1515
01:33:18,266 --> 01:33:19,700
Here we go.

I can't believe that
I'm getting to stand up here

1530
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,667
with all these ladies
that I was influenced by,

1531
01:34:14,667 --> 01:34:16,367
every single one of y'all.

1532
01:34:16,367 --> 01:34:18,500
The very first time I went
to the Grand Ole Opry,

1533
01:34:18,500 --> 01:34:20,900
you were standing
in that circle, Crystal,

1534
01:34:20,900 --> 01:34:23,467
and I knew at that moment.

1535
01:34:23,467 --> 01:34:25,567
I was, like,
"I want to do this."

1536
01:34:25,567 --> 01:34:28,333
I knew I was never
gonna grow hair like that,

1537
01:34:28,333 --> 01:34:31,633
but I knew watching you
in that circle,

1538
01:34:31,633 --> 01:34:34,233
and every single one of y'all
mean so much to me.

1539
01:34:34,233 --> 01:34:35,834
I'm telling you right now,
I was--

1540
01:34:35,834 --> 01:34:38,266

02:13:07,900 --> 02:13:10,367
Thank you to the fans for
making this song what it is,

2208
02:13:10,367 --> 02:13:15,467
because this wouldn't be--this--
I mean, I'm still flabbergasted.

2209
02:13:15,467 --> 02:13:17,567
I don't even know what that
word means completely,

2210
02:13:17,567 --> 02:13:18,567
so, thank you.

2211
02:13:20,734 --> 02:13:22,500
That's all I really
have to say is thank you.

2212
02:13:22,500 --> 02:13:24,834
I'm just grateful to my team.
I'm grateful to the fans.

2213
02:13:24,834 --> 02:13:26,467
I'm just--
I'm on cloud 9 tonight.

2214
02:13:26,467 --> 02:13:29,900
This is...
I don't know what to say.

2215
02:13:29,900 --> 02:13:31,600
Hey,
and thank you to Maya Hansen.

2216
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:33,467
She was the first person
to believe in this song.

2217
02:13:34,567 --> 02:13:37,800
Uh, everyone said
this song was gonna be

2218
02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:40,834
the most underperforming song
on the record...

2219
02:13:43,233 --> 02:13:45,333
and she believed it wouldn't--
wouldn't be,

2220
02:13:45,333 --> 02:13:46,400
so, thank you, Maya.

2221
02:13:48,533 --> 02:13:50,066
Thank you.

so much to the ACM Awards

2303
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:15,734
over the years as a winner,
a performer,

2304
02:19:15,734 --> 02:19:18,467

02:22:59,433 --> 02:23:01,567
I love every single one of
y'all in this category,

2340
02:23:01,567 --> 02:23:03,800
and y'all have taken me
under y'all's wings

2341
02:23:03,800 --> 02:23:06,433
and took me
out on the road with you.

2342
02:23:06,433 --> 02:23:08,700
Um, asked me to be on songs.

2343
02:23:08,700 --> 02:23:11,300
Supported me in every way
that you possibly can,

2344
02:23:11,300 --> 02:23:15,100
and, um, I will tell you this.

2345
02:23:16,367 --> 02:23:18,633
Um, I'm sure everybody
deals with a little bit of

2346
02:23:18,633 --> 02:23:20,834
imposter syndrome,
but I won't lie to you.

2347
02:23:20,834 --> 02:23:23,233
I have a little bit, and, uh,

2348
02:23:23,233 --> 02:23:25,700
but I read something
not long ago that...

2349
02:23:26,867 --> 02:23:29,433
that just said if--if--
if something is given to you,

2350
02:23:29,433 --> 02:23:31,834
then you need to accept it with
an open heart and an open mind,

2351
02:23:31,834 --> 02:23:34,767
and I just--I just
appreciate it.

2352
02:23:34,767 --> 02:23:36,834
I really do have
the best fans in the world.

2353
02:23:36,834 --> 02:23:40,200
I remember I was thinking
about it earlier this morning.

2354
02:23:40,200 --> 02:23:44,066
Um, I was just trying to, like,
wrap my head around today,

2355
02:23:44,066 --> 02:23:49,200
and, um, I remember my parents
had this old hunting spotlight

2356
02:23:49,200 --> 02:23:51,633
that we used to take off
the charger all the time,

2357
02:23:51,633 --> 02:23:54,834
and my sister would, uh, turn
all the lights off in the house,

2358
02:23:54,834 --> 02:23:57,200
and she would shine
the spotlight on me as I was

2359
02:23:57,200 --> 02:23:59,467
running back and forth
across the living room,

2360
02:23:59,467 --> 02:24:03,100
and, uh, I just dreamed about--
I dreamed about entertaining.

2361
02:24:03,100 --> 02:24:05,400
I love making people
feel things.

2362
02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:08,100
I love making people laugh
and smile and cry.

2363
02:24:08,100 --> 02:24:10,133
I'm sorry.
I like to make you cry.

2364
02:24:10,133 --> 02:24:13,700
Um, because I love
to feel things.

2365
02:24:13,700 --> 02:24:15,667
Everybody--everybody loves
to feel things,

2366
02:24:15,667 --> 02:24:19,333
and country music has
given me more than I deserve,

2367
02:24:19,333 --> 02:24:22,266
and I appreciate everybody
in this room.

2368
02:24:22,266 --> 02:24:25,300
My heart is so full.
Um, thank you so much.

2369
02:24:25,300 --> 02:24:26,700
God bless every single
one of y'all.

2370
02:24:26,700 --> 02:24:28,233

what else to say.
