For the first time in ACM Award history there was a tie for Entertainer of the Year with both Thomas Rhett and CarrieUnderwood taking home the honor. And while Carrie said she was happy to share the award with Thomas, folks on social media did not feel the same way.
“Of course they had to make the ACM Awards Entertainer a Tie and make sure a man still won,” one person tweeted, “couldn’t let a well deserving, hard working woman have it this year on her own,” adding, “Over this s–t.” Meanwhile, another added, “ACM Awards with a TIE for Entertainer of the Year?! Participation trophy generation at its finest,” noting, “Next up will be a World Series tie where both teams win! Loser mentality.”
Another fan added, “They know @carrieunderwood is so gracious; I would’ve told them to take their award and shove it,” while another shared, “I’m furious. You couldn’t let a female win on her own. This is ridiculous and so embarrassing.”
How do you feel about the tie?
