But by then it was too late and the keyboard warriors had passed their judgment. "To go from powerhouses Carrie and CeCe Winans and then energetic Eric Church to yawnfest D** and Sh** is just...a letdown. #ACMAwards," one posted, while another shared: "Please tell me Dan and Shay weren’t lip sync hung and that the recording was lagging or something.. #ACMAwards."
"It’s been hard to watch the ridiculous establishment of country music for a while now. Eric church, brothers Osborne, Luke combs...real talent. Thomas Rhett, dan & Shay and all the others that all sound the same. You have no personality...I’m over it. #ACMAwards," one fan expressed.
"Dan and shay missed their lip-sync so bad their disgraceful. #ACMawards," a user expressed. "Obviously, I missed the whole controversy because I was just listening to your voices and not looking at your lips. Kara," one tweeted in support of them. "Has anyone actually heard @DanAndShay sing live?! These guys wouldn’t lip sync. It’s a delay. It happens," another echoed.
