Dan and Shay

They gave a heartfelt acceptance speech.

Dan + Shay don't usually prepare to win any awards — and that's gotten them in trouble during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Dan + Shay and more are scheduled to perform at the 2021 ACM Awards.

They beat out songs by Brothers Osborne, Lady A, Little Big Town and Old Dominion.

It took being quarantined inside their respective homes for Eldredge and Shay Mooney to deepen their friendship.

"It's taken on new meaning for us not being able to see everybody in person, so this song is super close to our hearts ..."

"It's a message of gratitude and hope. A message to everyone in our lives: our fans, our friends, our families, to remind them all how grateful we are to be on the planet at the same time," the duo says.

The responses are priceless.
