The 51st Annual Country Music Awards were held last night in Nashville, kicked off by a wonderful acoustic rendition of the classic “Amazing Grace” by Eric Church. Taylor Swift was in New York at the time of the ceremony, rehearsing for her stint in ‘SNL’ later this week. Overall the night was filled with joy, hope, and plenty of star power.
