Shaboozey celebrated a significant milestone in his successful year by making his debut at the 2024 CMA Awards. The artist electrified the audience with a powerful rendition of his record-breaking hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and added a snippet of his track “Highway” to get the crowd energized. Despite his single receiving a nomination for Single of the Year, it lost to Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse.”
Last week, Shaboozey released “Good News,” marking his first single following the album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. This new track presents a more introspective tone compared to his previous upbeat hits, showcasing a reflective view of the challenges faced over the past year. “Man, what a hell of a year it’s been,” he expresses openly in the song.
His rise to fame was fueled by his notable collaboration with Beyoncé on Cowboy Carter, along with the success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Recently, Shaboozey received six nominations for the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and Best New Artist. He also garnered a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance for the track “Spaghettii,” alongside music icons Beyoncé and Linda Martell.
In response to his Grammy nominations, Shaboozey expressed deep gratitude. “I’m thankful for everyone who ever believed and took a chance on me. For those who looked out for me when I needed it the most. I’m grateful for every couch I slept on, every no I was ever told, every heartbreak, and every tear I shed over achieving my dreams. I’m thankful for everything! I wake up grateful every single day. Never give up on your dreams.”
This remarkable journey not only highlights Shaboozey’s immense talent and versatility but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring artists everywhere. His dedication and appreciation for his journey reflect a hopeful attitude that can encourage others to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
In summary, Shaboozey’s accomplishments this year signify an exciting new chapter in his career, one that promises even more success and growth ahead.
