Dan and Shay 2019 ACM Awards: Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney had one of the biggest nights of their career! More on their reaction here!
After Sunday night (4/7), Dan and Shay 2019 ACM Awards just go together…. The country music duo will never forget this awards show! Reba McEntire herself re-named the ceremony “Dan + Shay’s Excellent Adventure,” with the duo taking home three awards and Dan Smyers earning five. The Multi-Platinum, chart-topping global hit “Tequila” earned the pair Song and Single of the Year awards early in the evening. The stars also took home the title of Duo of the Year after performing their larger-than-life duet “Keeping Score” with Kelly Clarkson.
In celebration, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney released a special acoustic version of the song last night following the show. Listen to it below!
“This is all so incredible and surreal,” shared Smyers in a statement. “Honestly, we’re still just fans. Just to get invited to the show is an honor and a dream come true. We’re beyond thankful and still trying to process it all. We moved to Nashville to write country music and to be part of this family and have everyone come to Vegas is the coolest thing in the world. We are all winners tonight.”
“Keeping Score” Lyrics
Someday we’re gonna look back
On a night like tonight
The car I pulled up in
The necklace you’re wearing
Won’t even cross our minds
Someday we’re gonna blink twice
Say it happens like that
How much money we saved up
For the time that we gave up
Well, it’ll all just be math
I know I’m only human
Don’t know how many sunsets I got left
And I don’t wanna ruin
This moment by wondering what comes next
I just want to love you
Like it’s all I’m living for
Hold you close, enjoy you more
And spend a little less time keeping score
If we’re rich to somebody
We’re poor to somebody else
We could be happy and nameless
Or broken and famous
But, from what I can tell
Is that it doesn’t really matter
You can’t take with you when you go
Life is only getting faster (life is only getting faster)
So, baby, I’d rather
Take tonight nice and slow
‘Cause I know I’m only human
Don’t know how many sunsets I got left
And I don’t wanna ruin
This moment by wondering what comes next
I just want to love you
Like it’s all I’m living for
Hold you close, enjoy you more
And spend a little less time keeping score
Be with me now
Be with me right now
Be with me right here, right now
Be with me now
Be with me right now
Be with me right here, right now
I know I’m only human
Don’t know how many sunsets I got left
And I don’t wanna ruin
This moment by wondering what comes next
I just want to love you
Like it’s all I’m living for
Hold you close, enjoy you more
And spend a little less time keeping score
Oh, yeah
Keeping score
