It was country music's night of nights - the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards have been handed out.
The star-studded event was held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
While the awards could have been re-named the "Dan+Shay Awards", the country duo picking up three gongs, the big one "Entertainer of the Year" went to our very own Keith Urban - long overdue we feel.
