Make that 12 Grammy Awards for the living legend himself, Mr. Willie Nelson.
The red headed stranger just took home the coveted Best Country Album award for his 2022, 97th studio album, A Beautiful Time.
He beat out Miranda Lambert (Palomino), Luke Combs (Growin’ Up), Ashley McBryde (Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville) and Maren Morris (Humble Quest), who were all nominated alongside him in the category.
Announced by Shania Twain, Willie was not in attendance at the show, and she accepted on his behalf.
As he’s proven time again (and is extremely evident on this record), age really is just a number, but it comes with a lot of wisdom and unique life lessons that put Willie a cut above everybody else… and always will.
Willie also won the award for Best Country Solo Performance with “Live Forever,” and he was nominated alongside Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert and Zach Bryan, who secured his first career nomination with “Something In The Orange.”
Ashley McBryde and Carly Pearce took home the win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” besting Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert, Reba and Dolly, and more.
Brandi Carlile’s “Broken Horses” also won Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
And finally, Cody Johnson’s ‘Til You Can’t” got the win for Best Country Song, over Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson and more.
“I’ll Love You Till The Day I Die”
