A big honor! Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood‘s duet “If I Didn’t Love You” took home the top prize fro Video of the Year during the 2022 CMT Music Awards on Monday, April 11.

I think Carrie and I sort of hit the scene at the same time. The fact that you guys care enough about us this many years into our careers to vote for us and care enough about what we’re doing, to still listen to the music and vote for us means the world to me.
