The record-breaking smash, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, has been nominated for a Country Music Association award in the category of Musical Event of the Year. That’s a category that features records by artists who don’t normally record together. Among the other nominees in the category: Country superstars Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton and Maren Morris.
“Thank you guys for this nomination,” tweeted Lil Nas, captioning a photo of the nominees list.
Billy Ray tweeted, “Thank you @CountryMusic! Just found out we’re nominated for Musical Event of the Year! Woohoo!”
It’s been a big week for the “Panini” artist: On Monday, he won his first-ever award, Song of the Year, for “Old Town Road.”
