Blake Shelton took a back seat at this year's Academy of Country Music Awards and let his usual co-host, Luke Bryan, be the master of ceremonies alongside fellow country crooner Dierks Bentley. And we have to say, those two are beyond entertaining.
But aside from their onstage shenanigans, the performances and moving acceptance speeches made the ACMs worth-watching.
