• 2009 saw the first time Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw had ever met in person, in which Swift sang her hit song "Tim McGraw" as McGraw was sitting in the front row next to his wife, Faith Hill.
• There have only been five total awards given for Artist of the Decade. These include: George Strait, 2000s; Garth Brooks, 1990s; Alabama, 1980s; Loretta Lynn, 1970s; Marty Robbins, 1960s.
• In 2008, the award show included a first-ever instance of fan voting, in which fans voted for the Entertainer of the Year category online. The vote for this category came with stern opposition, including from the 2009 winner, Kenny Chesney.
