msn.comDolly Parton dedicated the 57th Academy of Country Music awards to the people of Ukraine on Monday (7 March). Opening the ceremony in Las Vegas, the “9 to 5” singer, who is famously apolitical, said: “Now, I don’t want to be political and this is not.
I’d rather pass a kidney stone than do that. “I want us to send our love and hope to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. “So why don’t we just dedicate this entire show to them and pray for peace around this crazy old world?”The ceremony, which took place in the Allegiant Stadium, saw performances from Brothers Osbourne, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, and Parton.
The biggest prize of the night, Entertainer of the Year, went to singer Miranda Lambert, who accepted the award remotely from London.
Male Artist of the Year was awarded to Chris Stapleton, while Carley Pearce won in the women’s category. Morgan Wallen won album of the year for his record Dangerous: The Double Album.
