ACM Awards: Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson Win Vocal Event
Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson as duet partners was a perfect collaboration.
Prior to the ACM Awards’ telecast on CBS, Jason and Kelly were announced as the winners for ‘Vocal Event Of The Year’ for their cross-over mega hit, “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”
‘Vocal Event’ was not slated as a televised award this year, but Jason was presented with the ACM award on the red carpet moments ago.
We wish we could have seen Jason & Kelly accept their award during the live broadcast, but we are very happy for their win!
From the @ACMAwards twitter:
LIVE on the red carpet,
@Jason_Aldean takes home the trophy for Vocal Event of the Year!

ACM Awards: Thompson Square Wins Vocal Duo
Thompson Square received a huge surprise last night after performing at the ‘ACM Salute to the Military’ concert at the ACM Experience in Las Vegas.
After Keifer and Shawna Thompson completed their set, ACM CEO, Bob Romeo, presented them with the award for ‘Vocal Duo of the Year” … a day early!
Thompson Square is the first duo besides Brooks and Dunn or Sugarland to win the ACM for ‘Vocal Duo’ since 1991. Since that time, Brooks & Dunn have won the ‘Vocal Duo’ award 16 times. The reigning duo winners, Sugarland, took home the trophy for 2010 and 2008. (In 1998 and 1999, the Dixie Chicks won the award when the category was combined with both duos and groups.)
While accepting the award, the duo was overcome with emotion:
Keifer : “It’s been a long, long road. This is one of the greatest nights of our lives. It’s hard to talk when you’re crying.”
Shawna: “This is a very bittersweet moment for me. More sweet than bitter. My dad passed away a month ago. This is for my dad.”
You can watch the video below of Shawna and Keifer accepting the award…
