In the world of country music, stars like Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood are no strangers to the limelight. They’ve won numerous awards, sold millions of records, and have legions of adoring fans. But even the most beloved celebrities aren’t immune to the harsh, and often absurd, criticisms of the internet.

The segment aired after the 49th CMA Awards, an event where the country music industry comes together to celebrate its biggest achievements. Following the glamorous night, viewers were treated to a different kind of entertainment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where country stars read aloud some of the nastiest tweets directed at them.
