Talk about the ULTIMATE country music trifecta!

While there were many great, high-energy performances during last night's 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, it was Tim McGraw who really stole the show, with a live rendition of his new emotionally-charged single, Highway Don't Care, off his new album Two Lanes of Freedom!

Of course, he couldn't have done it alone!

The country superstar had pretty talented assistance on the ballad, with Taylor Swift on back-up vocals and Keith Urban showing off what a force of NATURE he is on guitar!

Ch-ch-check it out for yourself (above)!

Simple, straightforward, yet more powerful than anything else that took the stage last night!

What do U think?? Did U adore this trio's performance??

Nicki Minaj is sooo not a Paul Jolley fan!

After dissing the American Idol contestant this week during his performance, she continued to serve up the slams after it was revealed he’d be the singer going home.

While judges usually comfort the loser eliminated performer, Nicki didn’t play that way with Paul!

Paul revealed what went on after his elimination was announced:

Another contestant has been sent packing!

American Idol is trimming the fat and sending hopeful singers on their way home.

After performances of The Beatles greatest hits, some contestants needed major Help! from voters, but it didn’t happen for all.

The bottom three with the least votes from fans were Amber Holcomb, Devin Velez and Paul Jolley after shaky performances, but only one would see their run end last night.

So who won’t be fighting for the American Idol crown?

The suspense is killing us…who will it be?!

American Idol is just getting good now that the contestants are being whittled down to take to the big stage.

Now is the best time to start making those winning predictions, and Keith Urban has already locked his in.

Sooo….who is it already, right?!

The country singing judge admitted he thinks this year is going to shake shake shakity shake things up:

Nicole Kidman made a goddess-like arrival on the red carpet at the Oscars!

The ever-so-beautiful actress donned a sparkly black and gold L’Wren Scott gown and looked as lovely as the awards being given out tonight!

The form-fitted dress, however, was no match for her favorite accessory — hubby Keith Urban! Ha!

Looks like she stole some gold from Oscar himself!

Nicole completed the look with some swept back hair and face-framing loose curls… though, we wish she would've gone for a different hairstyle!

And NOT fresh as in they constantly get "fresh" with each other! LOLz!

Despite controversy, tension, and SUPER awkward auditions, Kelly Clarkson — the ORIGINAL American Idol — has given two Grammy-winning thumbs UP to the additions of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban as the new American Idol judges!

The soon-to-be wife recently dished:

"The show needed to be freshened up a bit… I'm a huge Mariah Carey fan. If I had seen her as one of the judges when I was trying out, that would have been so cool."

Whoop whoop!

Hmm, we wonder if Mariah would have given Kelly an initial, Hollywood "YES"?!

LOLzz!

It's nice to hear SOME positive feedback concerning the new judges, as other former American Idol contestants — like Jennifer Hudson for example — haven't been as kind!

But whatever you may think about Nicki and Mariah's onscreen "banter," you can't deny it's intriguing to watch!
