And the 2026 Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance goes to… Shaboozey and Jelly Roll for “Amen.”

Shaboozey was on hand at the premiere ceremony to accept the honor. The country crooner shared that he just arrived at the ceremony seconds before the announcement. He also shared that this was the first time that he ever had to write a speech.

Shaboozey thanked God and his mother, who retired from her job today after thirty years working in the medical field as a nurse. He then dedicated his award to immigrants and children of immigrants.

“Immigrants built this country, literally,” he said. “Actually. So this is for them. For all children of immigrants, and for those who came to this country in search of a better opportunity, to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity for everyone.”
