First, Megan Moroney got things started with a beautiful acoustic rendition of Urbanās 2006 hit āStupid Boy.ā The rising country star strummed her bedazzled guitar as she sang into a sparkling microphone. You stupid boy / Oh, you always had to be right / But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.
Next, Chris Stapleton delivered a haunting version of the 2016 chart-topper āBlue Aināt Your Color.ā Urban and wife Nicole Kidman rose to their feet and interlocked arms as they swayed back and forth, singing to one another.
The Brothers Osborne capped off the tribute with a rousing performance of 2001ās āWhere The Blacktop Ends.ā For that, the Triple Crown winner himself even joined in.

Taking home the prestigious Triple Crown Award at tonightās ACM Awards, Keith Urban crosses off a bucket list item that only 11 others can claim.
To qualify, an artist must win New Artist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, and Artist of the Year. Urban won Top New Male Vocalist in 2001, followed by Male Vocalist in 2005 and 2006. He took home the esteemed Entertainer of the Year trophy in 2019.
Seeing his name among the nominees for the first time had a āsurreal quality,ā Urban told Billboard.
āIt felt like when you go to the theme park and you can get your picture taken and put on the front of a fake Time Magazine as a souvenir. I felt like that,ā he told Billboard.
