Good job, Darius Rocker! The country superstar got everyone dancing with his ninth straight hit, ‘For The First Time.’<\/b>
\nDarius Rucker, 51, wowed the crowd gathered for the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. \u201cAnd now, performing a top-10 song, his ninth country hit in the row,\u201d host Reba McEntire, 63, said, \u201cfor the first time, give it up for Darius Rucker!\u201d The former alternative-rock radio star brought the swagger to the honky-tonk hit, and the ladies in the audience were feeling it. As he serenaded everyone with his song \u2014 which, to be honest, is pretty damn catchy \u2014 everyone was bobbing and swaying along.
\u201cFor The First Time,\u201d the second single off of Darius\u2019s fifth(!) country studio album, is all about taking a chance and feeling the thrill of trying something new in life. \u201cWhen was the last time you did something for the first time? \/ Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling \/ Maybe something new is what you\u2019re needing \/ Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive \/ When was the last time you did something for the first time?\u201d Of course, this wasn\u2019t the first time Darius has appeared at the ACMs, as he joined Martina McBride during the 2016 ceremony to celebrate the late Joey Feek .
\u201cI love watching the show because of the music,\u201d Darius said ahead of the event, according to MSN . \u201cYou know, because of the collaborations that they\u2019re doing. You know, this is just a special show for us.\u2026 this year has been crazy. It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve been to Vegas in a while. It\u2019s going to be a special show tonight.\u201d Darius was clearly talking about how the ACMs have a history of mixing country icons with non-country superstars, as well as teaming up stars you\u2019d never imagine singing together.
The 2018 event saw Blake Shelton and Toby Keith singing \u201c Should\u2019ve Been a Cowboy .\u201d Kelly Clarkson joined host Reba McEntire to sing \u201cDoes He Love You.\u201d F lorida Georgia Line teamed with Bebe Rexha, while the great Alan Jackson would be accompanied by Jon Pardi to perform Alan\u2019s hit, \u201cChattahoochee.\u201d With so many once-in-a-lifetime performances, no wonder Darius was excited for the ACMs. Judging by the audience that was grooving to his hit, the ACMs were just as excited for Darius.<\/p>\n
