Tonight is the ACM Awards on CBS, and I'm wondering how they're going to execute everything virtually!
Keith Urban is hosting AND performing (with Pink - loveeee her!), and a ton of other amazing artists will be performing and miscellaneous locations in Nashville including Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Dan & Shay, and more!
My girl Chelsey on 96.3 Star Country & I put together this list for our own ACM Awards Drinking Game. If you have anything to add - hit my up on Twitter or Instagram and I'll put it on there with credit to you, of course.
Drink every time Luke Combs wins
Drink every time Miranda Lambert wins
Drink every time there’s any sort of reference to “We’re in this together”
Drink every time Keith Urban refers to Nicole Kidman or his family
Drink every time an artist plays a new song we haven’t heard yet on the radio
Drink every time you predict the right winner
Drink every time someone in the rooms asks, “Who’s that?”
Drink every time an artist thanks “country radio”
Drink every time you realize the lyric you were singing is wrong
Drink every time Keith Urban has an outfit change
Also, these are my picks for tonight's winners .... we'll see how we all did tonight (or tomorrow morning if it runs way past your bedtime).
