Did we know that Trisha was going to be on the ACM's? I don't remember...
Not sure if she's just presenting...or maybe presenting that special Crystal Millenium award to her hubby.

The highlight of the show, obviously.

Last nights show was great! I was hoping Trisha would present the award, (Garth sorta had that on his mind too! ) but her performing was even better! And she looked great! I wish I had the confidence to wear something like that. And the second dress was pretty & fun too!

Definitely th highlight of the show! That blue on her was gorgeous. With Garth's little slip-up in his acceptance speech, I think we all know where his mind was! The second dress was really cute, too. It was great to see them both on the show.

Dear Trisha,
You looked great on the ACM's.It was so good to see you on there presenting that award.
Love,
Danielle
