Shaboozey celebrated a remarkable year with a standout performance at the 2024 CMA Awards, where he showcased his chart-topping single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” This electrifying performance also featured a snippet of his song “Highway.” Although “A Bar Song” was nominated for Single of the Year, it ultimately lost to Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse.”

The song opens with, “Man, what a hell of a year it’s been,” setting the stage for a personal narrative.
Shaboozey’s rise to fame has been nothing short of extraordinary. He gained widespread recognition through his collaborations, notably his double feature on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, followed by his solo hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
The artist has also received significant accolades, with six nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. He is up for Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance for his hit single, along with Best New Artist. Additionally, he earned a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance alongside Beyoncé and country pioneer Linda Martell for the track “Spaghettii.”
Expressing his gratitude, Shaboozey remarked, “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 narrative exemplifies perseverance and the joy of achieving dreams against all odds, serving as a beacon of hope for aspiring artists everywhere. Shaboozey’s journey reminds us that determination, resilience, and gratitude can pave the way for success.
