While there are more than enough award shows centering around the music industry, the Academy of Country Music decided to host a tribute concert that focused on the contributions of female singers. Calling it the Girls Night Out Awards, the concert special honored numerous stars like Miranda Lambert, Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire, The Judds, and even Carrie Underwood. Thankful for the respect women receive from country music, Underwood once took the stage at the award show to perform “How Great Thou Art” alongside legendary country star Vince Gill.
