Zach Top just won his first-ever GRAMMY Award at the 2026 GRAMMYs. The fast-rising country star’s sophomore album, Ain’t In It For My Health, was crowned Best Traditional Country Album at the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
Top accepted the Gramophone trophy during the Premiere Ceremony livestream. “This is insane. I feel like I watched the Grammys as a little kid, and [they] looked like superheroes up on TV,” Top shared from the stage in front of a star-studded audience. “So to be here and be a little part of the whole thing is insane.”
He thanked “my Lord and Savior,” his family, producer Carson Chamberlain, manager Mike Doyle, girlfriend Amelia Taylor, label Leo33, and everyone on his team and in his band. “I want to thank my Lord and Savior and my family. Carson Chamberlain, my manager, [and] Mike Doyle’s here with me. My girlfriend, Amelia [Taylor]; my label [Leo 33]; everybody on my team; my road band,” Top continued.
“This is absolutely insane. I’m so thankful. Thanks for letting me be here. This is amazing. Have a great night,” Top added.
Top’s sophomore album, Ain’t In It For My Health, dropped on August 29, 2025, via Leo33 and quickly racked up an impressive 30 million global streams in its first week. The 15-track project is anchored by the feel-good lead single “Good Times & Tan Lines” and includes his latest country radio hit, “South of Sanity.” Produced by Carson Chamberlain, the album has been met with widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, solidifying Top’s place as one of the hottest rising stars in country music.
