Anoche se entregaron en Las Vegas (Nevada, EEUU) los premios de la Academy of Country Music, en el regreso de la música country a la ciudad tras el tiroteó de 2017. Precisamente el tiroteo se produjo durante la actuación de Jasón Aldean, que ayer ganó su tercer Entertainer of the Year consecutivo.
La gala fue presentada por Reba.
Los otros grandes triunfadores de la noche fueron con dos premios Chris Stapleton (vocalista masculino y disco), Miranda Lambert (Vocalista femenina y canción) y Brothers Osborne (dúo y vídeo). Una de las sorpresas fue el premio a mejor grupo para Old Dominion.
