Grammy-winner Stapleton was nominated for three awards that evening – Best Country Album (From A Room: Volume 1), Best Country Song (“Broken Halos”), and Best Country Solo Performance (“Either Way”), and won all three, bumping his total number of Grammys up to five.
While they were both there to win awards, they also joined forces to deliver a harmonious performance of Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers.”
Their voices sounded incredible together while they sang pitch-perfect harmonies throughout the entire song. Their performance served as the beginning of the In Memoriam segment of the prestigious awards show.
