Entertainer Of The Year nominee Luke Bryan heated up the ACM Awards with a performance of his 25th consecutive No. 1 single “One Margarita” on Wednesday (Sept. 16).

Bryan’s colorful performance brought summertime, island-vibes similar to the music video for the song, wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a vibrant palm tree scenery filling the background.

“The beauty of ‘One Margarita’ just brings a fun party-like scenario to the show, so you know just excited to be up there,” Bryan said ahead of his ACM performance. “I get to wear a very Island, cheery shirt, it makes me want to leave Nashville and fly to the Islands.”

“One Margarita” was co-written by Michael Carter alongside Matt Dragstrem and Josh Thompson. The song appears on Bryan’s latest No. 1 album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here.

Bryan also opened the award show alongside his fellow EOTY nominees: Luke Combs, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood and Thomas Rhett for a medley of their greatest hits.

The 55th Academy of Country Music Awards also featured performances from Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban with P!nk, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Riley Green, Mickey Guyton, Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw, Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett featuring Jon Pardi, Blake Shelton with Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, Tenille Townes, Morgan Wallen and Trisha Yearwood.

The 2020 ACM Awards took place in Music City for the first time ever. The three-hour show took place at three iconic venues: Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe.

Hosted by Keith Urban, the star-studded event aired on Wednesday, September 16 (live 8:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT) on CBS Television Network and streamed live and on-demand on CBS All Access.
