Brothers Osborne picked up their fourth Duo of the Year trophy at last week’s CMA Awards. The pair have had a few days to reflect on the win and what it means to them, and John and TJ Osborne feel even more grateful for the award after the year they’ve had.

“It was so incredible winning It was a huge surprise to both of us. And it did, I said it in the speech, it really did feel like love won at that time,” says TJ. “I feel like today in this day and age with all of the hate out there – at least that’s the way the headlines would like you to believe – that to actually get to witness a very beautiful, loving moment at the CMA Awards and feel that, feel the love, it was incredible. Certainly, a highlight of my life.”

John agrees. “Winning that CMA Award was, it was incredibly unexpected, as it is every year, but especially this one. I mean Dan + Shay have had a great run and they’re still doing incredibly, and we never would have ever, ever expected to hear our names but this one in particular was a shocker to us and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

The guys, who are making their way up the country charts with “I’m Not For Everyone,” wrap their We’re Not For Everyone Tour on Saturday (November 20th).
