NEW YORK (AP) Carrie Underwood brought the Academy of Country Music Awards to church. Maren Morris won two honors, including song of the year. Miranda Lambert performed three times and held onto her record as the most decorated winner in ACM history. And Mickey Guyton, the first Black woman to host the awards show, gave a powerful, top-notch vocal performance.

The country songbird and the crooner delivered a blazing performance of their bittersweet send-off, I Hope You re Happy Now. Pearce launched into the performance with her commanding stage presence and vocals before the 41-year-old superstar entered, guitar in hand, to join her for the bellowing duet. I hope you find what you were looking for / I hope your heart ain t hurting anymore / And you get moving on, all figured out / And you don t hate me somehow / Cause I hope you re happy now, the duo belted in the song s mighty chorus.
