Hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards took place on Thursday, May 11 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and boy was it a night to remember!

The star-studded event featured legendary performances including a heartfelt duet between icons Ed Sheeran and Luke Combs singing Sheeran’s new single “Life Goes On” and more unforgettable moments! We still can’t get over how Dolly Parton brought a goat on the ACM stage! It’s no wonder it’s called ‘Country Music’s Party of the Year!’
