Wow, what a great show! I love this show because several artists present new songs! Carrie Underwood’s dress was fitting for such a winner and Taylor Swift has certainly helped gain a lot of younger fans into country music.
Lt. Andrew Kinard, a Marine who had been injured in Iraq, presented Trace Adkins and the West Point Glee Club performing “Til the Last Shot’s Fired.” He told the audience, “As you listen to this song, please consider: It’s not about the war, it’s about the warrior.” That was a very moving part of the ACM Awards.
