Morgan Wallen, who won the award for top country male artist, performed at his first awards show after he was caught on camera using a racial slur.

"I want to say, ‘Thank God.’ And thank my fans. I got the best damn fans," said Wallen, who acknowledged his mother for accompanying him as his date to show. He did not mention last year’s incident, which once found the disgraced singer rebuked by the music industry.
