9. Mickey Guyton, 41 – ACM Awards in 2021

Country music artist Mickey Guyton became the first black woman to host the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2021. She co-hosted the show with Australian-American country singer Keith Urban. Dressed in a blue gown, one of the highlights of the night was Guyton’s powerful performance of her song, “Hold On.” Urban also joined her on stage to play the piano as Guyton sang, “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?”
