Florida Georgia Line and Backstreet Boys ACM Performance: Watch Now!
We already know who took top honors at the Academy of Country Music Awards, but the biggest shocker of the night was The Backstreet Boys performing with Florida Georgia Line.
Yes, we"re still not over that electric performance that made a dull awards show a little bit more worthwhile.
The song they performed to was none other than "God, Your Mama, and Me" and it was a solid performance. It"s not very often the rug can be pulled from under us, but we were definitely surprised.
The performance started off with Florida Georgia Lane, but then Nick Carter appeared, and things took an interesting turn as the audience went into overdrive.
The audience was also treated to a performance of iconic hit, "Everybody."
Nicole Kidman was part of the audience, and you could tell she loved every single minute of it.
Watch the performance below!

Lou Pearlman Dies; Backstreet Boys, "NSync Created Was 62
Lou Pearlman, the infamous record producer who created such boy bands as The Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync, died in prison on Thursday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons record.
He was 62 years old.
The cause of death is believed to have been an undisclosed illness.
Known in during the heyday of his career “Big Poppa,” Pearlman was one of the world’s most successful music producers in the 1990s.
Based in Orlando, he created The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, LFO and O-Town.
In 2000, however, members of The Backstreet Boys filed a lawsuit against their manager, claiming that Pearlman had set up their contract in an unfair manner.
Via court documents, the band alleged that they had only received $ 300,000 …while Pearlman received millions.
Soon afterwards, NSYNC also filed a similar lawsuit, as did Aaron Carter (pictured below with Pearlman) in 2002.
Still, it wasn’t until 2006 when Pearlman got into real legal trouble.
At that time, investigators discovered that he had defrauded investors of over $ 300 million in a Ponzi scheme.
He did so by somehow convincing wealthy investors to put their money into shell corporations that did not exist.
Pearlman fled to Indonesia in response to the charges and was captured in 2007.
A year later, Pearlman pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering, conspiracy and fraud.
He was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, although a judge ruled that Pearlman could reduce his prison time ; for every million he paid back, the judge would take one month off his sentence.
Pearlman never paid a dime.
“Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away,” Lance Bass wrote in response to this news, adding:
“He might not have been a stand-up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today w/out his influence. RIP Lou.”
Pearlman was a diabetic who suffered a stroke in 2010.
“It was definitely a wake-up call,” he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, adding that he had since lost 75 pounds by walking around the prison track.
It’s unclear whether this disease contributed to his death.

Nick Carter to Cops: I"m in the F--king BACKSTREET BOYS!
Nick Carter pleaded for Key West cops to let him off the hook for a bar fight due to – wait – his membership in the Backstreet Boys.
Nick Carter pleaded for cops to let him off due to his fame as he was getting arrested for brawling in a Key West, Florida bar on Wednesday night. On police video exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com, the former boy band star slurs through an explanation of his fame while speaking to a responding officer. “Sir, my name is Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, I’m a f***ing singer,” the boastful 35-year-old says on the tape, around the eight-minute mark. “All I’m asking is a second, and a chance, to rectify the situation and to talk to the owner or manager of this place and to say, I don’t want all this s**t.” Earlier on, when police ask where he’s staying in the vacation destination, the belligerent star says he’s at a “retort,” instead of a resort. According to the police report, Carter and Michael Rae Papayans, 27, acted “agitated and aggressive” to staff at the Hog’s Breath Saloon on Wednesday night when bartenders refused to serve the “heavily intoxicated” men. When they were tossed from the establishment, Carter punched a bouncer. The has-been singer has a history of alcohol-related troubles. He was arrested for driving under the influence in 2005, and later spent three months in rehab. In his 2013 memoir, Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It, Carter admitted he’s till “not perfect” post-treatment. “I still slip up when it comes to drinking,” he confessed. You’re kidding.
