In a surprise upset, Luke Bryan took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night (April 7) -- beating out more established stars like Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift.

Keith Urban presented the Female Vocalist of the Year award to the dazzling Miranda Lambert at the 2013 ACMs, and she was completely surprised by the win. "I thought for sure Carrie had it this year, and she damn well deserves it!" she said as she took the stage... and broke into tears.

At the Orleans Arena, fan-favorite Brad Paisley took the stage for the 3rd annual Fan Jam alongside pop icon John Mayer. They performed 'Beat This Summer' from Paisley's highly anticipated album 'Wheelhouse,' which comes out on Tuesday, April 9.

Mega superstars Garth Brooks and George Strait gave a once-in-a-lifetime performance at the 2013 ACMs on Sunday night (April 7), singing together for the first time ever in tribute to Dick Clark.

First-time ACMs host Luke Bryan took a break from his gig cracking jokes at co-host Blake Shelton's expense in order to perform his new single 'Crash My Party' during Sunday's 2013 ACM Awards broadcast.

Pop superstar and budding country performer Kelly Clarkson performed her new single 'Don't Rush' at the 2013 Academy of Country Music awards Sunday night (April 7), delivering a strong rendition despite the absence of her collaborator Vince Gill.

If she brings the same passion and anger back to their Las Vegas hotel room that she displayed singing 'Mama's Broken Heart' it's going to be a rough night for the show's co-host.

Blake Shelton's introduced Jason Aldean by quipping, "Back in 1994, Hunter Hayes was still breastfeeding." The audience loved the crack, and everyone was in good spirits when Aldean took the stage to sing his current single at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday (April 7).

Before the Band Perry took the stage at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday, Neil Perry issued a bit of a memo while being interviewed on the red carpet, warning that the performance would "definitely be the most dangerous performance of the night." His tongue was likely tucked firmly in his cheek, since we never felt unsafe while watching Neil and his siblings Kimberly and Reid perform their

Oklahoma native, Blake Shelton brought the 2013 ACMs down to a new emotional level, with a performance of his hit song 'Sure Be Cool if You Did.' From his record 'Based on a True Story,' the song is his 8th consecutive No. 1 hit and 13th overall.

Leave it to Carrie Underwood to switch it up for her 2013 ACM Awards performance. Fresh off debuting her new single 'See You Again' on her former stomping grounds of 'American Idol' last week, she elected to perform her most recent No. 1 hit 'Two Black Cadillacs,' as opposed to repeating the song she just did a few nights prior. She likes to switch it up for her fans.
