Janson’s “Buy Me A Boat” earned the singer-songwriter Country Song of the Year.

Brad Paisley made an appearance on electric guitar, backing up Demi Lovato‘s performance of “Stone Cold.” He also presented an award to Taylor Swift, who earned five trophies, including Best Tour, Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (1989), Most “Meme-able” Moment (for her “Blank Space” video), and Most Thumbed Up.
