The 50th Annual CMA Awards were filled with so many special moments and will go down in history as a night to remember. With star-studded collaborations and surprise wins, the anniversary awards show honored all artists from both then and now for their efforts in country music throughout the decades.

Keeping up with the modern-day trends online, we decided it would be best to document some of the cutest bits through GIFs. From a little Reba shimmy to a fist pump from Karen Fairchild, these clips will be sure to make you laugh, cry and want to reminisce on country music’s biggest night of the year.

Check out the best GIFs highlighting this year’s CMA Awards:

Gotta love when Reba taps her toes to a little Dolly Parton.

The Dolly wink of approval.

Run like the wind to that award, Carrie!

‘There ain’t no doubt I love this land…’

From one champ to another.

Shake it, Bey!

The Karen Fairchild way of saying, ‘Nailed it!’

Brothers Osborne were rather chill about winning, don’t you think?

We can hear it now: ‘Alright, alright, alright.’

Did anyone ever break Billy Ray Cyrus out of that room?

Looks like we’re in for a Faith Hill pep talk.

Who runs the world? Girls!

Relationship. Goals.

We’re all crying happy tears for you, Maren!

Jennifer Garner is still feeling ‘thirty, flirty and fabulous!’

These two are just the coolest pair of friends, no doubt.

Lori McKenna: winner of a CMA and our hearts.

(insert Nationwide theme song here)

That’s right, Faith. Rock on!

The ultimate country music moment: hearing that sweet Randy Travis’ voice.
