Country Music\u2019s Biggest Stars Performed During The 60th Annual ACM Awards<\/h2>\n

The 2025 ACM Awards took place at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, on Thursday, May 8.<\/p>\n

Although country music\u2019s brightest stars went head-to-head in a range of categories, the show wasn\u2019t just about the awards. Many fan-favorite artists also hit the stage with unforgettable performances.<\/p>\n

One of the many singers who performed on the ACM stage was Blake Shelton, who sang one of his latest singles, \u201cTexas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelton dropped his single \u201cTexas\u201d in November 2024, marking his first solo release in over two years.<\/p>\n

The track introduced a fresh sound for the country star, and even includes a clever nod to country legend George Strait by referencing his classic \u201cAll My Ex\u2019s Live In Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with the long break, Shelton managed to come back strong. \u201cTexas\u201d broke his personal record for most first-week radio adds, with 156 stations adding it to rotation. The success of the song didn\u2019t stop there, though. It also became Shelton\u2019s\u00a030th number-one hit\u00a0in his career.<\/p>\n

In March, he announced that he\u2019d be dropping his first album in four years. Titled\u00a0Recreational Use Only<\/em>, the collection includes 12 songs, along with a few tracks featuring special guest artists.<\/p>\n
