Carrie Underwood
For her night at the AMAs, the "Drinking Alone" singer chose a asymmetrical sequin purple dress with a cape on her left side and a high leg slit on her right, which allowed her to show off her famous legs and a sky-high gold platform sandal. Underwood accessorized with delicate gold jewelry and a purple statement ring. During the show, Underwood was presented with the awards for Female Artist - Country and Favorite Album - Country for her 2018 project, Cry Pretty, which ties her with Reba McEntire as the most-awarded country female in the history of the show.
Thomas Rhett
Rhett attended the show with his wife, Lauren Akins, who wore a shimmering striped dress with a V-neck and empire waist that highlighted her baby bump. Rhett complemented his other half in a brown floral-print suit, maroon shirt and black shoes. The 29-year-old was nominated for Favorite Male Artist - Country and Favorite Album - Country for Center Point Road and performed his recent single "Look What God Gave Her."
Kelsea Ballerini
Ballerini sparkled in a red and silver sequin suit with a black lapel, no shirt underneath and pointy silver heels, her blonde hair worn sleek and straight. The Tennessee native was nominated for Female Artist - Country and introduced Shania Twain's performance.
Shania Twain
The country legend arrived in a cream silk turtleneck top with large bell sleeves and a black sequin skirt with tulle accents attached, her hair swept to the side and piled in a knot on her head. Twain took the stage during the show for her first AMAs performance in 16 years, singing a medley of hits as well as covers, including Drake's "God's Plan" and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."
Dan + Shay
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney coordinated on the carpet in jewel-toned suits, with Smyers choosing a purple option with a black lapel, a white shirt and black shoes and Mooney opting for a deep green suit with a navy lapel over a black shirt with black shoes. Dan + Shay picked up the trophy for Favorite Song - Country for their hit "Speechless" as well as the award for Favorite Country Duo.
Kane Brown
New dad Brown stepped out in a black and silver alligator-print Armani jacket over black pants and a black shirt with black shoes and a silver watch, taking home the trophy for Favorite Male Artist - Country later in the night.
Taylor Swift
Swift stepped onto the carpet in a sparkling green asymmetrical dress worn with black thigh-high boots, sweeping her hair to one side and finishing the look with two black rings and black diamond-shaped earrings. The 29-year-old was awarded Artist of the Decade and performed a medley of her hits including "Love Story," "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Blank Space," "Shake It Off" and "Lover."
Lil Nas X
The 20-year-old sported one of the night's most eye-catching looks, choosing a neon green suit over a zebra-print top accented with the same bright hue. He completed the look with earrings and neon green shoes. Lil Nas X took home the trophy for Favorite Song - Rap/Hip Hop for his "Old Town Road" remix with Billy Ray Cyrus.
