He continued, “I’ve been in Nashville 13 years, had my first #1 seven years after movin’ there, had a couple since then so we’ve been bustin’ and to finally be nominated, that’s a huge win for me.”
The news wasn’t only exciting for Scott, but his young kids as well who celebrated right alongside their dad.
“My kids, when I told them I was nominated they were like, ‘You’re gettin’ a trophy!’” He laughed. “They don’t understand what a nomination and a win is, but you know what? That’s really cool seein’ my kids fired up too. Like, ‘Daddy’s gettin’ a trophy.’ Hey, I got the trophy already.”
Dylan’s nomination is in the New Male Artist of the Year category. He is up against Zach Bryan, Jackson Dean, Ernest, Nate Smith and Bailey Zimmerman.
