Combs & BigXthaPlug Ignite Stage with Fiery Performance
20 Nov
Summary
- Combs and BigXthaPlug delivered a dynamic performance of 'I Hope You're Happy'.
- Flames shot up during the performance, creating a visually striking spectacle.
- Combs was nominated for three awards but did not win any.

Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson electrified the arena with their rendition of 'I Hope You're Happy,' featuring pyrotechnics that shot flames upwards during the song's climax. The performance was so dynamic that parts of the broadcast were bleeped due to unclear, potentially offensive language.
This was Jelly Roll's second performance of the night, having opened with 'Back in the Saddle.' He was a nominee in three categories but ultimately lost to other artists, including Cody Johnson for Male Vocalist of the Year. Lainey Wilson also secured the Entertainer of the Year award, denying Jelly Roll a potential third win.
BigXthaPlug, relatively new to country music, found success with 'Happy' being his first full dive into the genre. His collaboration with Bailey Zimmerman, 'All the Way,' previously reached a career-best No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
