After Going a Combined 0/14 at the Past Year’s ACM, Grammy & CMA Awards, Keith Urban Wins the Night With 4 CMT Music Awards

Over the past eight months, Keith Urban has been nominated for seven ACM Awards, two Grammys and five CMA Awards.

How many did he win? Zero, zip, zilch, nada. When it came time to vote, the industry decided that Keith’s Ripcord album, multiple singles like “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” and entertainment prowess weren’t numero uno. Time and time again, Keith heard someone else’s name called. Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Maren Morris, Thomas Rhett, Garth Brooks . . . and on and on it went until Keith was left with an 0/14 stat line.

However, when the vote was put in the hands—or click finger—of the fans via the CMT Music Awards, Keith reigned supreme. The superstar came home with four trophies last night (June 7), including Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year, Collaborative Video of the Year and Social Superstar.

“This award is for everyone watching that voted for this, everyone in the room tonight,” said Keith after winning the night’s top honor, Video of the Year for “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” “This award is for all you guys, everybody outside that couldn’t get in, everybody that comes to see us play in concert. I wish God’s blessing for all of you and your families. I love making music, I love making videos, I love making records, I love writing songs, I love touring, I love what I get to do, maybe more that ever. You guys allow me to do that and when you support this music and connect with it the way you do, cause that’s all I’m trying to do, I’m just trying to make a connection, so God bless every one of you.”
