Last night several of country music’s biggest stars received their very first Grammy nomination. Obviously, they were stoked.
Jason Aldean (Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance, Country Duo/Group Performance)
I was totally stunned last night, and it all happened so fast. I was feelin’ a pretty big adrenaline rush from our performance with Luda, and then to be told we had three nominations was just crazy. We were flying pretty high all night…there was definitely some celebrating on the flight back to Nashville,” says Aldean. “That ‘Album’ nomination is what artists dream of their whole career. And then for both the duet with Kelly and ‘Dirt Road’ to get some recognition, which were both different kinds of songs for us this year, it’s just incredible.”
Thompson Square (Best Country Duo/ Group Performance, Best Country Song)
We both could not believe the news of our Grammy nominations,” said Keifer Thompson. “When our manager told us we really thought he was playing some sort of sick joke on us. We can’t thank the Grammys enough for such a prestigious honor!
“If I’m asleep please don’t wake me up…. cause this is a dang good dream!!” mused Shawna Thompson.
Eric Church (Best Country Album)
“The GRAMMYs are the ultimate honor for any recording artist. It’s very cool that they recognized CHIEF in what I feel is the most coveted category,” shares Church. “I got into the music business because of great records and the feelings they imparted on my heart. I’ve poured everything I am into making those kinds of albums, and I am very thankful for this nod.”
The Grammy Awards will air on February 12th.
