Pink is singing Barbies tonight!!

And I love that they made fun of Trump. I was mildly underwhelmed with the Tim/Faith bit.

Their vocal performance? Or the whole Brad and Carrie "Barbie Doll" bit?

[19wingz]

Their execution of the barbie doll bit.

Pink killed her performance. But Carrie. Wow. That voice with that hymn.

Few thoughts. Over Garth Brooks winning again. I mean he's great, but Eric and Keith were much more deserving. Eric mostly. It's annoying that he wins because of name and influence.

Female. Whatever. Miranda had a great album, but Maren Morris deserved this. And I say this as a self-proclaimed Carrie enthusiast. Carrie hasn't done much this year, though. Should have gone to Morris.

Pink & Carrie had the performances of the night, in my opinion. I LOVED that FGL were nowhere to be found. And for the people whining about making fun of Trump. STFU. They also poked fun at Hillary, but let's ignore that and whine about people mocking the president. Because no one ever mocked Obama in the 8 years he was President.
