During Thursday night's 59th Academy of Country Music Awards (May 16), Dan + Shay took up the fourth Duo of the Year award. After receiving the award, Dan Smyers said, "I'm freaking out right now. My dearest brother, Shay, I love you." Seeing you back on stage makes me incredibly proud. The love and support of country music community have stayed constant over the past ten years, even though we have had many highs and lows on this crazy trip. You all are family."

Then Shay Mooney took the stage and said, "I'm feeling very nervous right now. The more you practice this, you expect your anxiety will decrease. I'm looking out here and seeing all my friends, and I'm a little overwhelmed." He concluded by saying, "Man, you all belong to my family. We are grateful that you all brought us this far and that you let us perform country music."
