It was a sweep for “Don’t You Wanna Stay” at the 47th Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night.

Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson took home the ACM Award for ‘Single Record of the Year’ for their number one hit, “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”

The pair took the stage to accept the award along with producer, Michael Knox. Aldean graciously thanked the writers for creating a great song. He continued his speech by adding that he wanted a female vocal on the record and the first person that came to his mind was Clarkson. He then told the crowd, that she took the song to a new place.

Clarkson, looking gorgeous in red, thanked Jason and their managers and then sweetly thanked everyone for welcoming her from the pop world. Country music loves you, Kelly! You are welcomed with open arms.

The pair also picked up ‘Vocal Event of the Year’ prior to the ACM Awards’ live broadcast.

“Don’t You Wanna Stay” appears on Aldean’s album, My Kinda Party, as well as on Clarkson’s deluxe edition of her Stronger album.

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!
