ACM Awards 2022: Miranda Lambert trolled for Entertainer of the year award; 'she did nothing'

Miranda Lambert was up against Eric Church, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood in the Entertainer of the Year category

Miranda Lambert for the very first time won Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards on Monday, March 7. The iconic crooner, however, soon got trolled by the social media users as they felt she did not deserve the coveted award and it should have better gone to her counterpart Carrie Underwood or Luke Combs.
 
In the Entertainer of the Year category, Miranda Lambert was up against Eric Church, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, and Carrie Underwood. The 38-year-old songstress became the first woman to win the award since Carrie Underwood and Thomas Rhett tied for the same two years ago. Miranda also bagged the Video of the Year award for ‘Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)’ with Elle King. Miranda might have won the Entertainer of the Year award but she was not present at the venue to collect it in person. The 57th edition of ACM Awards 2002 was hosted by Dolly Parton at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Social media users did not waste any time mocking the award show along with Miranda as one of the users stated, “Entertainer of the year........what a joke. 3-4 artists that play the same 13-15 song 75-90 min setlist every single night and all they do is change the name of the city in their interaction with the crowd, or the Chief with a 3 HOUR, 30-35 song ever changing setlist.” Another posted, “As much as I love Miranda…. @lukecombs should’ve won entertainer of the year. That man puts on one hell of a show #ACMawards”
 
The next one shared, “Miranda Lambert winning ACM entertainer of the year is some absolute BS. She did NOTHING compared to the other nominee's. This is why the #ACMawards is only on #Amazonvideo absolutely garbage.” One added, “How in the hell is Miranda Lambert entertainer of the year?!?!  Literally any of the other four are better entertainers. One of them plays 3 hour, 30 song set lists and even played on his own when the band came down with Covid-19. ACM voting is bs!” Another posted, “Can someone explain to me WTF Miranda lambert did to win entertainer of the year?” And, one user concluded, “@carrieunderwood should win Entertainer on Vegas alone.”
