Florida Georgia Line & Backstreet Boys Performance Was the Most-Tweeted ACM Awards Moment
Florida Georgia Line and the Backstreet Boys' performance of "God, Your Mama and Me" — and, of course, the boy band's classic "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" — at the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday was the night's most-tweeted event, according to Twitter.
With Jason Aldean winning the night's entertainer of the year award and Thomas Rhett taking home the song of the year award both receiving some significant attention on the social media network, the event made a considerable splash online. The ACM Red Carpet Live pre-show itself garnered 3.1 million unique viewers on its exclusive Twitter live stream.
