What a show! The 2017 CMA Awards was one unforgettable night of fashion and music! Take a look back at all the best moments right here!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The 51 annual CMA Awards have sadly drawn to a close. Thankfully, the night was filled with loads of hilarious and touching moments we won\u2019t soon forget! Who didn\u2019t love that insane opening featuring Eric Church, 40, singing \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d? Then, they transitioned to Darius Rucker, 51, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, 50, and pretty much every other country music star you can think of performing \u201cHold My Hand\u201d! Amazing! And that was just the beginning!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">After 9 years of seeing Brad Paisley, 45, and Carrie Underwood, 34, effortlessly tackle co-hosting duties, we knew they would have something special in store this time around! And the lovable pair did not disappoint! We were in stitches when Brad broke out all the political tracks Carrie said they weren\u2019t allowed to play in the \u201cpolitics-free show.\u201d That included the hilarious \u201cBefore He Tweets,\u201d which poked some fun at President Donald Trump, 71! Sound familiar? That\u2019s because he playfully ripped off Carrie\u2019s \u201cBefore He Cheats.\u201d So funny!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Anyone who\u2019s tuned in for the Country Music Association Awards in past knows that the performers who show up for the show tend to prepare something special. And that has never been truer to this year! Legend Reba McEntire, 62, and the gorgeous Kelsea Ballerini, 24, paired up for a stirring duet of \u201cLegends.\u201d Breathtaking!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Garth Brooks, 55, also dropped by to perform a moving rendition of \u201cAsk Me How I Know\u201d for the roaring crowd. There\u2019s a reason this guy\u2019s name is synonymous with country music greatness! One Direction member Niall Horan, 24, also made his CMAs debut perform to sing \u201cSeeing Blind\u201d alongside Maren Morris and it was too cute for words!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Catch Brad and Carrie\u2019s hilarious Q&amp;A? They briefly let fans in on their secret to getting in shape for the awards show and it was fantastic. So what\u2019s their secret? Goat Yoga. Best as we can tell they let a billy-goat stand on them as they attempt Yoga poses! Of course, the moments are captured for our viewing pleasure!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Writer, director and actor Tyler Perry, 48, also made an appearance to call for unity across genres and cultures in the face of so much division when presenting Album of the Year to Chris Stapleton, 39. And, of course, he managed to strike the perfect note with his words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><strong>Source<\/strong>:\u00a0https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2017\/11\/08\/cma-awards-highlights-2017-cmas-show-best-moments-photos\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/entertainment\/music\/darius-rucker-joined-country-music-royalty-best-moments.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darius Rucker Is Joined By Country Music Royalty &amp; More Of The Best Moments From The 2017 CMAs OMG!
