On country music's biggest night, you better believe the stars are going to dress to impress.

In case you didn't already guess, it's time for the 2022 CMA Awards, where Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning brought the laughs as co-hosts of the live telecast.

Broadcasting from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., the annual award show featured unforgettable performances from stars like Katy Perry, Thomas Rhett, Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton.

In addition, The Black Keys joined Elle King for a special rendition of "Great Balls of Fire" in honor of recent Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Lee Lewis.

It also wouldn't be an award show without some trophies being handed out. Lainey Wilson led the way with six nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year.

But before the awards were announced and the biggest singers took the stage, there was one tradition that certainly didn't go out of style. Yes, we're talking about the red carpet.
