That’s what a lot of fans are saying after last night’s event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show streamed live on Prime Video.
Shania Twain Struggled Throughout the Night
In fairness to the “That Don’t Impress Me Much” singer, it was Twain’s first time hosting the ACM Awards. There were also audio issues all evening, which threatened to derail Lee Ann Womack’s comeback bid during her duet with Parker McCollum.
But Womack wasn’t the only one who was struggling. Twain’s opening monologue fell flat, opting to give readers a history of the Academy of Country Music rather than tell jokes and warm up the audience.
Then, Twain mispronounced Ella Langley’s first name (“Ella,” not “Elle”) before her performance last night. However, we’re certain that the “Choosin’ Texas” singer forgot all about it after she won her seventh award last night.
What Did People Say About Shania?
Fans didn’t hold back when critiquing Twain’s first go-round as host.
“Seriously, the worst host yall have ever had. Do better. Shania was horrid,” wrote one user.
Another added, “Omg. Shania is a horrible! The ACMs should have no host at all. Is this the best they could find?”
One fan insisted, “Please make it stop. It’s awful.”
“Shania Twain is so damned awkward, it’s funny to see,” shared one viewer. “Probably the most awkward host I’ve ever seen on an award show!”
Someone wondered if Twain was on something, saying that she sounded “like she took a xanax before coming to the stage.”
Here is a full list of last night’s winners. If your favorite artist went home empty-handed, we’re sorry. Just remember, it could have been worse. They could have been the host.
