Dan + Shay: ACM Awards Journey from Debut to Dominance

Dan + Shay have been a staple at the Academy of Country Music Awards since their debut at the 50th anniversary show in Dallas in 2015. As they gear up for the 61st ceremony in Vegas, the duo admits they still feel the nerves before hitting the stage. Dan Smyers recalls their memorable performance where they opened the show with "Tequila" for the Songs of the Decade moment, with George Strait in the audience, adding to the pressure. Despite the jitters, Dan believes that seeing their peers and friends in the audience creates a sense of belonging and support within the country music community. With seven trophies under their belt and a nomination for duo of the year, Dan + Shay are set to deliver another stellar performance at the upcoming ACM Awards. Don't miss their live performance from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
