Las Vegas turns country for the ACM Awards

Las Vegas turned country during the 48 annual Academy of Country Music Awards that occurred April 7, 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The three-hour event, hosted by Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton, showcased 24 performances, including performers Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, new-comers Florida Georgia Line, Jana Kramer, and Hunter Hayes, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, and Carrie Underwood.

The Band Perry, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton stunned the crowd as well during their performances, but no performance compared to Stevie Wonder’s performance with Hunter Hayes. In a press release after the performance, Hunter Hayes said, “This is something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time, and I’ve been hoping for it, wishing for it, praying for it and I just hope we get to do it again.”

Arguably the biggest upset of the night was Luke Bryan, recipient of “Entertainer of the Year.”
