It comes as no surprise that Hill and McGraw brought the audience in Las Vegas to their feet during the show. The couple has co-headlined several sold-out tours over the past few years, and they are still performing in the Soul2Soul tour today. Nevertheless, McGraw and Hill are no exception to tabloid fodder, including rumors of their marriage being on the rocks in recent months.
Reports arose that suggested "furious clashes and suspected infidelities," according to The National Enquirer. The questionable publication also reported that McGraw was "threatening to walk away for good." Despite the sensational headlines, representatives for both Hill and McGraw shut down the possibility of divorce. McGraw's rep chalked the rumors up as "totally false and ridiculous," according to GossipCop.com, while Hill's rep also slammed the story as untrue.
Meanwhile, other performances during the ACM Awards included Stevie Nicks with Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, The Band Perry, Shakira, and Hunter Hayes, among many more. The night also saw George Strait honored with the top award at the ACM's- the Entertainer of the Year award.
"Wow… I always said I had the best fans in the world and I heard this was a fan-voted thing, so I rest my case," 61-year-old Strait said in his acceptance speech. "This is so amazing. This has been an amazing past 30 years."
Strait beat Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and the night's co-hosts, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, for the award. However, Lambert went on to earn the Single Record of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year awards. The female vocalist honor marked the singer's fifth consecutive win. Keith Urban also received top honors on Sunday, including producer and performer awards, while Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw's "Highway Don't Care" video earned Video of the Year.
