The opening months of each new year bring fans of music and movies alike the chance to watch their favorite artists take home much deserved awards. Country music’s biggest night, the 2022 ACM Awards, was no exception, and the music genre’s biggest stars from Dolly Parton to Chris Stapleton graced the stage at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Of course, musician and ACM host Parton is an absolute national treasure, and country pop queens like Carrie Underwood made fans swoon.
While the musicians and fans in attendance certainly seemed to enjoy the evening, spectators on Twitter weren’t so convinced that the ACM Awards were entirely necessary. From the devastating crisis in Ukraine unfolding in real time to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, commentators on Twitter were quick to point out that the event seemed off. Here’s what some vocal critics had to say.

Twitter was on fire with comments about the ACM Award show
While Dolly Parton opened the awards with a somber and meaningful message about supporting “our brothers and sisters in Ukraine,” some Twitter users still weren’t convinced that the award show was really necessary given the state of the world. “Watching the @ACMawards I wish this god they keep thanking was more focused on Ukraine then sh**ty songs about beer and trucks,” one Twitter user commented.
