The Sweet Sixteen was insane.

Fan favorites like Kip Moore, Dierks Bentley and Cody Johnson were shockingly sent home, George Strait and Alan Jackson pushed on through, and Tyler Childers continued his historic Cinderella run.

Elite 8 voting is official LIVE and the matchups are only getting even more intense. #1 Eric Church will take on #10 Alan Jackson, #1 Chris Stapleton squares off against #6 Chris Young, dark horse #13 Tyler Childers takes on the King of Country music #6 George Strait and finally, #4 Luke Combs goes head to head with #7 Jon Pardi.

Voting for the Elite 8 ends on Monday, April 1st at 11:30pm CT, with Final Four voting beginning on Tuesday, April 2nd. Remember, you can vote every 5 minutes so make sure to vote early and vote often to make sure your favorite artist advances to the next round.
