Shaboozey celebrated a remarkable moment in his rising career with his debut performance at the 2024 CMA Awards. He set the stage ablaze with an energetic rendition of his hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” starting off with a snippet of another track, “Highway.” Despite the strong acclaim for “A Bar Song,” which earned a nomination for Single of the Year, it ultimately lost to Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse.”

His accolades continue to grow, as Shaboozey has received six nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. He is recognized in prestigious categories such as Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” along with a nod for Best New Artist. Additionally, he earned a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance in collaboration with Beyoncé and country icon Linda Martell for the track “Spaghettii.”
Expressing gratitude, Shaboozey shared, “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 of gratitude and resilience highlights Shaboozey’s journey from struggle to stardom, inspiring many who follow their dreams.
Overall, Shaboozey’s achievements this year highlight not only his immense talent but also serve as a reminder that perseverance and gratitude can lead to remarkable successes in life.
