Dan + Shay were all the talk leading up to last night’s Billboard Music Awards. They had seven nominations, including the all genre Duo/Group and Chart Achievement Awards, plus Country Album, Country Artist, two for Country Song (“Tequila” and “Speechless”) and Country Duo/Group. They only won that last one – an honor, to be sure, but a disappointment for their fans.
Turns out Luke Combs was the big country winner. He took home three of the four trophies he was nominated for: Country Artist, Country Male, and Country Album. Carrie Underwood grabbed the Country Female trophy, Kenny Chesney got Country Tour, and Country Song went to Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha for “Meant To Be.”
No worries for Dan + Shay, though. Not only did they rework and perform “Speechless” on the awards show with Tori Kelley, they sang it after the show at a little Vegas wedding chapel where Elvis married Jonas Brother Joe Jonas and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner. We know this because Diplo had it all on his Instagram, which People grabbed and posted here:
So, congrats to the winners and to the Jonas’s. Jonases? Jonas’? Uh. Congrats to Joe and Sophie.
