Little Big Town Remembers Their First-Ever ACM Performance

After winning their fourth consecutive award for Vocal Group of the Year at the 52nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday night (April 2), Little Big Town headed backstage to talk about their win, Karen’s obsession with HBO’s Big Little Lies series and the first time they appeared on the ACM’s.

“‘Boondocks,'” Karen said remembering the song they sang during their first ACM appearance.

“Two thousand…six-ish?” Jimi and Kimberly simultaneously shouted out the year.

“Accoustic guitars, maybe like a minute twenty seconds of —it was like a commercial of “Boondocks,” Karen said. “On a little stage by ourselves— the four of us. I remember I bought green and black cowboy boots and spent probably more on those then my rent was.Vince Gill sang right before us and he was honored.”

“You remember the boots you were wearing,” Jimi teased. “Those were your wedding boots by the way.”

“Oh yeah, I did get married in those,” Karen continued. “Yeah, we totally remember it. [Kimberly] was pregnant and she bounced all the way to the stage like a little bunny rabbit.”

“This show’s been good to us, so we love it,” added Jimi.

Little Big Town spread the joy at the 2017 ACM’s when they performed “Happy People,” the follow up single to their No. 1 hit, Better Man, off their newly released album, The Breaker.
