In fact, the 48th annual show had over 15 million viewers (15.38 million, to be exact), posting the largest audience since 1998.

Stevie Wonder closed out the ACM Awards with his classic soul hit 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours,' turning the end of the 2013 red carpet show into a celebratory country party.

These potential moments could prove to be the ones fans are talking about come Monday.
