On Sunday, February 5th, Willie Nelson won the award at the 2023 Grammy Awards for Best Country Album. Nelson managed the accomplishment through his album, A Beautiful Time, which was up against Luke Combs, Growin’ Up, Miranda Lambert, Palomino, Ashley McBryde, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, and Maren Morris, Humble Quest.
Shania Twain presented the award for Best Country Album and since Nelson wasn’t there to receive the award himself, Twain accepted it on his behalf. She stated, “I love you, Willie,” as she did so. A Beautiful Time was Nelson’s 72nd solo album and was released on his 89th birthday on April 29th, 2022.
The 65th Grammy Awards were aired live on CBS as well as Paramount+ and will remain available to stream via Paramount+ afterwards.
