Luke Combs is already a winner ahead of tonight’s 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards!
The country superstar took home the award for Country Album Of The Year for his album, Growin’ Up, at this year’s award show. Unfortunately, Combs just kicked off his massive 2023 World Tour, so he was unable to attend to accept in person. However, the “Going, Going, Gone” singer was on hand virtually to deliver an acceptance speech.
“Hey iHeartRadio, it’s Luke Combs here. I just wanted to say I am honored to have won Country Album Of The Year at the iHeart Awards,” Combs said in an acceptance video. “So amazing and couldn’t be more pumped! Thank y’all so much.”
