Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker honored Kenny Rogers with a performance on the 'ACM Presents: Our Country' TV special.

Which country artist was put into a real-live cage before taking his place on stage? Whose concert was interrupted by a family of goats and a dancing bird? Which singer returned to her tour bus to find a headless eel (ewwww!) in her bed?

They're country!
