Little Big Town picked up their fourth ACM Vocal Group of the Year Award at Sunday night’s ACM Awards. The group, who performed their new single “Happy People,” started off their acceptance speech by acknowledging Lady Antebellum’s killer performance of “You Look Good” with the UNLV Marching Band. Karen also said they had to hurryup, because they wanted to catch the season finale of the  HBO series, Big Little Lies, starring Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, who was sitting in the audience next to her husband, Keith Urban.

Backstage the foursome said they’re fans and friends of the other groupsthat were in their category. “We’re all friends and we all root for each other and cheer each other on, and we love the music they’re making,” says LBT’s Phillip Sweet. Jimi says, “Like the Lady A performance?” KAREN: “They stole the show. It was amazing.” JIMI: “Unbelievable.” JIMI: And we just celebrate, man.” KAREN: “We’re fans.” JIMI: “Yeah. We all have our place, and we just do what we do.”

LBT’s Karen Fairchild said she tried to pry Nicole about what happened on the season finale of Big Little Lies, but she wouldn’t give any clues about last night’s show. “I talked to Nicole [Kidman] about it earlier, and she was like I can’t tell you anything, but I’m obsessed with the show. And then so then we got up there and we were seeing that and I had seen her, and then  I was looking at the clock and I was like, ‘We’ve got to get this going, so we can have In ‘N Out Burger, champagne and Big Little Lies.”

Little Big Town continue their residency at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on May 19th and 20th.
