You’d think Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line would be on easy street at country music awards. After all, their collaboration “Meant to Be” made history as the longest-running number-one hit in the history of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and it peaked at number-two on the Hot 100 singles chart, which made it the biggest crossover country hit in years. But despite the song’s success, it can’t catch a break on the awards scene. Will it finally win at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 7?
Last fall “Meant to Be” was nominated for Single of the Year and Musical Event of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards, but it lost to “Broken Halos” by Chris Stapleton and “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” by David Lee Murphy and Kenny Chesney, respectively.

Blake Shelton won top honors at the 2018 Cmt Music Awards, held on June 6 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. He won Video of the Year for “I’ll Name the Dogs,” which was the first victory of his career in that category. That song also won him Male Video of the Year, which made him the only artist on Wednesday night with multiple victories. Check out the full list of winners right here.
Shelton previously contended for Video of the Year for “God Gave Me You” (2012), “Boys ‘Round Here” (2014) and “Sangria” (2016), but he hadn’t won that prize until now. He was up against a field of 11 other nominees including Carrie Underwood and Ludacris (“The Champion”), Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton (“Say Something”) and Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line (“Meant to Be”). But those were all collaborations, and no collaboration has won the top prize at the CMTs.
