Carrie Underwood
Wine and Carrie Underwood? Is there anything better? The ‘American Idol’ superstar and country icon performed the classic ‘Drinking Alone’ from her couch for the ACM Presents: Our Country special.
Miranda Lambert
A star-studded country lineup wouldn’t be complete without Miranda Lambert, who took to her front porch and performed fan favorite ‘Bluebird’ on her acoustic guitar. Taking it back to the roots!
Brad Paisley
Some of the best country songs in history mention a pickup truck, so it seems only right that Brad Paisley grabbed his guitar and performed “Mud On The Tires” & “Wagon Wheel” in a tribute to Kenny Rogers.
Darius Rucker
In addition to all-start performances, the ACM PRESENTS: OUR COUNTRY special will honor 10-time ACM Award winner Kenny Rogers with performances by Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker, seen here.
John Legend
Though miles away, Kane Brown & John Legend still managed to perform together across the distance, singing their tune ‘Last Time’ for the ACM: Our Country special. (BTW– Do you see all those Grammys?!)
Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow is a powerhouse performer, so it was only fitting that she brought her own house down with a powerful performance of “I Shall Believe” at the piano, all while sitting in front of a roaring fire.
Lady Antebellum
In a performnce that was by no means easy to pull off, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, and Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum got together to perform “What I’m Leaving For” together, each from their own homes. And look at Charles’ little guy getting in on the fun!
Little Big Town
Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild and Phillip Sweet of Little Big Town. gave it their all in a incredibly powerful performance of “Next To You” for ACM Presents: Out Country, each from their own homes, scattered across the country.
Tim McGraw
Ok, but… where’s Faith Hill? Tim McGraw made himself comfortable on the floor of his home, while performing “Humble And Kind” for the CBS special.
Dierks Bentley
Dierks Bentley busted out his guitar and made his way to his deck to give an intimate performance of “I Hold On” for the ACM: Our Country special on CBS. Acoustic all the way.
