Garth was named Country Touring Artist of the Decade, and took it as a chance to thank his crew. “I worship the band and crew,” he said. “Your crew is there hours before you and hours after you leave.” Of the honor itself, he vamped, “That’s pretty sweet, man. Thanks for the ride.” Meanwhile Brad recognized as Livestreaming Artist, for his “Virtually Yours: 2020-21” livestream.
