\n\tIntroduced by host Lainey Wilson (who called Combs her \u201ccamper trailer buddy\u201d), the pair lit up the Bridgestone Arena stage in a semi-literal sense with their rousing rendition of the anthemic I Hope You\u2019re Happy<\/em> track, as flames licked the back of the stage, shooting up during Combs\u2019 soaring chorus. At times, the pair perhaps even got a little too animated, as entire seconds of the performance were bleeped out on the broadcast, with the offending words being unclear. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt was the second performance of the night for Combs, who also kicked off the evening with a rendition of his Country Airplay chart-topping current hit \u201cBack in the Saddle.\u201d Combs was a three-time nominee on the evening, but went home empty-handed, as he lost male vocalist of the year to Cody Johnson and single of the year (for \u201cAin\u2019t No Love in Oklahoma\u201d) to Ella Langley\u2019s Riley Green-featuring \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me\u201d \u2014\u00a0and shortly after his and BigX\u2019s performance, Lainey Wilson denied him a third career entertainer of the year with her own second win of the coveted award. <\/p>\n

\n\tBigXthaPlug is still relatively new to country music, with Happy<\/em> marking his first full-length foray into the genre. \u201cAll the Way,\u201d his teamup with country star Bailey Zimmerman, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> earlier this year, a career-best showing for both artists.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
