The stars were aligned at the 2019 ACM Awards<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

For the 54th time, the biggest stars in country music gathered together Sunday night, this time inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, to do what they do best: celebrate music. <\/p>\n

With 17-time winner Reba McEntire<\/strong> once again at the helm as host, the show was certainly a special one as “Tequila” stars Dan + Shay<\/strong> won their first three awards and led the pack of winners<\/a> this year, among them Keith Urban<\/a><\/strong>, Thomas Rhett<\/a><\/strong>and Kacey Musgraves<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Of course, the show wasn’t solely about the statues. The stars dazzled on the red carpet, dressed to impress<\/a> in their designer duds. Carrie Underwood<\/a><\/strong> walked her first red carpet since welcoming her son<\/a> Jacob Bryan Fisher <\/strong>in January. Newlywed Miranda Lambert<\/a><\/strong> was also a welcome sight, returning to the carpet less than three months after<\/a> quietly marrying Brendan McLoughlinBrendan McLoughlin<\/strong>. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

During the show, the star-studded audience didn’t hesitate to mingle<\/a> with their fellow celebs and get up from their seats to dance during the musical performances. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Once the big show wrapped, some stars headed out to celebrate at Big Machine Label Group’s after-party, where familiar faces like Rhett <\/strong>and his wife Lauren Akins<\/strong> could be seen taking group pictures with people. Bachelor<\/em> star Colton Underwood<\/a><\/strong> and his leading lady Cassie Randolph<\/strong> were also there mingling with guests and were spotted holding hands. <\/p>\n

Fortunately for fans, the cameras captured all of their favorite stars throughout the night. Check out E!’s gallery below for all of the cute candid moments!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
