Nine Can’t-Miss Moments From the 2020 ACM Awards
On Wednesday night (Sept. 16), the Academy of Country Music finally got to hold its long-delayed awards ceremony.

There were none of the usual cutaways to the audience or shots of Taylor Swift singing along to every song with gusto. Instead, a raft of top names performed from three iconic Nashville venues: the Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Cafe, while Keith Urban hosted live from the Grand Ole Opry. Here are some of the top moments...
