SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE WINS THREE ACM AWARDS (AUDIO & VIDEO)
Miranda Lambert:
ACM Entertainer of the Year
“It’s my first time to miss ACMs in 17 years so my heart’s a little broken, but I’m happy to be where I am. I’ve been waiting for this for a really really long time I actually never thought it would happen.“
Old Dominion:
ACM Group of The Year
Question: “After five consecutive wins, is there ever any fear of not winning one of these years?”
Old Dominion: “Every year this continues I feel like we get more nervous. You know, it’s just something that we never expect to win. It’s just, there’s so much talent and it’s insane that we would win this thing five years in a row. So, you know, we’re still ready for people to be like, okay, you’re done, but we’re gonna keep pushing until until that happens.”
Question: “Take us back to your first ACM win, what was going through your mind?”
Old Dominion: There was this great moment that well, first of all, that was like the moment that we first realized how many people were working so hard and believed in us. You know, we sort of had this self preservation thing going on where we just had our blinders on to that. But there was one of the women who work for our record label, there’s a video of it that gets posted every year. And she had a drink in her hand. And when they announced that we won, she threw it into the air and just soaked everyone around her. But that was what really showed us like, this is more than about the five of us. You know, it was just there’s a whole team of people who really believe in us and work really hard for us. So it was really meaningful to us to see that and that first time.”
Elle King & Miranda Lambert:
ACM Video of the Year
