ACMs 2020: (Semi) Snarky Twitter Wrap-Up

The ACM Awards were obviously a more serious and somber affair this year, so the hatin' wasn't as prevalent. That said, here are a few bits of insight and humor from last night's show.

I guess I’ll watch the ACMs. Probably won’t be a lot of hatin’ cause things are weird. As you may know.

Dan + Shay rhymes with Maddie & Taye, the real duo of the year in my country music heart #ACMawards

“One Margarita” was definitely written by an online hit summer country song generator. #ACMawards

I couldn’t tell you Dan from Shay though... and I thought Old Dominion was better when they were in the Sun Belt Conference.

Carrie Underwood just covered Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and Martina McBride on the ACM AWARDS. Carrie Underwood just had a "moment." She is what pop country should be. #ACMawards

I think Nashville needs an intervention about their drinking problem. (It’s worse than usual) #ACMawards

I had no clue the #ACMawards were on tonight.

Then again, over half the nominees have no clue who Merle Haggard is so whatever.

I don’t think I’ve ever cared less about a celebrity couple than Blake and Gwen lol

Fun fact: Luke Combs did a tune up on that truck before the commercial.

I always knew country music would eventually get so bad that nobody would show up at those award shows, but y’all didn’t believe me...

We would have severe overpopulation and traffic problems if Riley Green’s song came true.

"Excuse me. Sir?? Can you tell me how to get to Copperhead Road?" "Yeah, uh, head down Copperhead road. Run right on Copperhead. Another left on Copperhead. Then boom. You're on Copperhead. "

I like the idea of Luke Combs sitting in the Bluebird and occasionally having to get up and be like what again?

Play Mickey Guyton, country radio.

A man can stumble out of the Gap Outlet at the Opryland Mall to pick up an Entertainer Of The Year trophy, apparently. #ACMs

I don’t like the phrase “mediocre white male” because I am one, but Thomas Rhett is also one.

The Current Poop of Mainstream Country Radio: August 2020

A poop emoji is negative. A strike-thru is positive.

The current Poop Rating of the Mediabase Top 20 is (-9) overall which is a 15 point drop from May (the previous time we did this chart). Not too surprising, since summer on country radio is for mindless beer truck boyfriend songs. The worst song is Florida-Georgia Line’s “I Love My Country” being slightly worse than Kane Brown’s “Cool Again.” The best song is Maddie & Tae’s “Die From a Broken Heart,” which finally hit number 1 after forever on the chart.
