Dan + Shay Lead Country Winners at the 2020 American Music Awards
Country duo Dan + Shay took three awards at the 2020 American Music Awards on Sunday night (Nov. 22) — two more than any other country artist nominated.
The "I Should Probably Go to Bed" duo nabbed Favorite Duo or Group Country, Favorite Country Song and the all-genre Collaboration of the Year award. With the latter award (for "10,000 Hours," their collaboration with Justin Bieber), Dan + Shay became the first country artists to win this collaboration award.
Lifetime, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney have five AMAs.
Other country winners on the night included Kane Brown in the Favorite Male Artist Country category, Maren Morris in the Favorite Female Artist Country category, and Blake Shelton in the Favorite Album Country category for his 2019 hits package, God's Country. Taylor Swift was also a winner in multiple categories, including the night's big prize, Artist of the Year.
Taraji P. Henson hosted the 2020 American Music Awards from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Dan + Shay were the only country performers, singing "I Should Probably Go to Bed."
