1. The Opening Number: Paisley and Underwood (who changed a whopping nine times throughout the night!) opened the show with a hilarious take on the song "Why Can't We Be Friends." They jokingly pitted country stars against each other, sang about Obamacare and even mocked Miley Cyrus. But the best part? When the hosts twerked with the stars of "Duck Dynasty" to a cover of Robin Thicke's hit song, "Blurred Lines."

2. Brad Paisley's Dolly Parton/Airbags Joke: Co-host Paisley looked like he was going to have a serious moment when he addressed the camera directly to talk about Dolly Parton, who was recently involved in a car accident. " She was treated and released from the hospital. And thankfully, Dolly did have airbags, which is good," he said. "However, the ones in the car did not deploy."

3. Taylor Swift's Big Moment: It really is pretty incredible - at 23, Taylor Swift was awarded the prestigious Pinnacle Award, drawing congratulations not only from her country crooner colleagues, but also stars including Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and Justin Timberlake. As her parents cried in the audience, Swift gracefully accepted the honor. "You've made me feel so special right now," she said. "Thank you."

4. The Tribute to Kenny Rogers: Kenny Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, and to celebrate, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker and Jennifer Nettles joined him on stage to perform some of his greatest hits. It was a huge hit with the audience, and with Rogers too, who grinned ear-to-ear. "Thank you guys so much," he said. 5. George Strait's Heartfelt Speech: It seemed like everyone in the audience wanted the Entertainer of the Year award to go to George Strait, and when it did, the whole crowd gave him a standing ovation. Strait was visibly touched. "My dad's been having some pretty good conversations up there, I have to say. Wow," he remarked, with his hand over his heart. "This means the world to me. I appreciate it."
