Rascal Flatts performed a spirited cover for Reba, rock legend John Fogerty honored The Judds, Little Big Town harmonized with Martina McBride, Ronnie Dunn brought Jennifer Nettles to tears, Vince Gill and Carrie Underwood took us to church and Blake Shelton serenaded Miranda Lambert (who also debuted her new girl group, Pistol Annie).
