Grammys 2022: The Country Music and Americana Winners
Brothers Osborne, nine-time nominees, won their first career Grammy award during Sunday’s streaming Grammy Premiere Ceremony. The duo of TJ and John Osborne won Best Country/Duo Group Performance for their introspective song “Younger Me,” written shortly after the duo’s singer TJ Osborne came out as a gay man.
“I never thought I would be able to do music professionally because of my sexuality and I never thought I would be on this stage accepting a Grammy,” TJ said, his voice cracking.
“I want to thank my younger self for pursuing this,” John Osborne said. “Take care of that person.
Chris Stapleton won a pair of awards during the non-televised ceremony, including Best Country Solo Performance for “You Should Probably Leave” and Best Country Song for “Cold,” which he accepted with his cowriters and bandmates Dave Cobb, J.T. Cure, and Derek Mixon. “Thanks for being in this thing called music with me,” Stapleton said to his fellow nominees.
The Grammy for Best Country Album will be awarded during Sunday night’s broadcast.
