Despite the recent nomination, the 'God Gave Me You' singer tells tells the New York Times that there was once talks of closing his account indefinitely. "There was a point where Warner [Bros., his record label] was like, 'We've got to get Blake off Twitter, because he can't say these type of things.'"

Dolly is nominated for Best Vintage Viral Video for her performance of 'Jolene' on 'That Good Ole Nashville Music,' a syndicated TV program that featured country artists singing their biggest hits. Hosted by country singer Dave Dudley, the show aired from 1970 to 1985.
