Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's ACM Awards will go virtual for the first time in the show's 55 year history.

We got a backstage look at some of country music's biggest names as they prepare for Wednesday's big award show by doing virtual interviews.

The ACM's will be live from three different iconic Nashville venues including the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium and the Bulebird Cafe. Keith Urban hosts September 16, at 8 PM/EST on CBS.
