He said: “I really am taken aback. Thank you so much for this. I owe my wife an apology. That last award also belonged to her. It just happened so fast… all my music, I really owe a lot to her, so I thank her for her support.”
Meanwhile, Lainey Wilson took home Female Vocalist of the Year after beating Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney, and Kacey Musgraves to the prize whilst Old Dominion took home Vocal Group of the Year.
