The ACM Awards are finally here! After months of postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the telecast will officially air on CBS tonight, September 16. So many stars will be on hand to perform, announce winners, and potentially become a first-time ACM Award recipient. With such an important evening lined-up for many country music fans and artists across the nation, we’re looking back at some of the talented artists from their first and most recent ACM Awards appearances!
Taylor Swift grace the ACM Awards red carpet and stage in 2007 at the age of 18 years old. On the red carpet, Taylor looked like she was ready to get into her Fearless album era, wearing a gorgeous, romantic pink corset dress with a flowing skirt. The former country songstress looked like a true princess in her gown. Later that evening Taylor was fully ingratiated into the country music community.
In contrast to Taylor, Carrie Underwood has been a total mainstay in the world of country. She made her very first appearance at the ACM Awards in 2006. Upon making her ACM debut, Carrie wore a gorgeous gold gown that flowed perfectly. Later on in the evening, she had a wardrobe change and wore a tea length black dress with sequins and an accented band of gray around her waist. Over the years, Carrie’s style has completely evolved, and watching her come into her own on the ACM Awards has been such a joy.
Tune into the ACM Awards tonight, September 16, at 8 pm ET on CBS.
