Emmitt, Dak Present "Song of the Year"
The home of the Dallas Cowboys became the home of country music and its biggest stars Thursday night at the 58thAnnual ACM Awards Show at The Star.
Hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, the ACMs put on quite a show, held at Ford Center, where the Cowboys hold most of their practices.
But on Thursday, it was full of some of the greatest entertainers in the world.
Not to be outdone, the Cowboys held a strong presence as well, with Dak Prescott and Emmitt Smith, donning their own version of Cowboys hats, sharing the stage to present "Song of the Year," which went to Cole Swindell's "She Had Me at Heads Carolina."
Other entertainers include Luke Combs, Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert.

Parton held a press conference on Tuesday, where she was also asked about her history with the Dallas Cowboys, in which he she hinted that a bigger announcement involving the Cowboys could be on the horizon.
"We have some surprises down the road," Parton said, getting instructions from her manager not to announce any other news. "But (being at The Star) means a lot because we always loved the Dallas Cowboys."
Dolly Parton's store, called "Dolly! All-Access" is located on the lower level of The Star District in between both parking garages, features plenty of Dolly-memorabilia from T-Shirts to accessories, along with pre-order book opportunities and costume exhibits.
