The second round of artists who will perform at the 61st annual Academy of Country Music Award in Las Vegas on May 17 were announced via the award show's Instagram account and website this afternoon. Country music duo Dan + Shay were added to the list alongside Blake Shelton, Kane Brown, and others! I anticipate that they will be performing their new single "Say So" during the telecast that can be seen exclusively on the Amazon Prime Video app. In addition to taking the stage that night, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney will find out if they take home the trophy for Duo of the Year.

While we wait for the award show to take place, I will leave this #FlashbackFriday video here for my readers to enjoy. At the 2025 show that celebrate its 60th anniversary, Dan + Shay closed out the opening decade medley by singing part of their smash hit "Tequila" from 2018. It was an electric performance from start to finish, especially at the very end when Mooney held the last "yeah" not for what seemed like an eternity. Having heard him do that during multiple performances and listening to his vocal range on other songs like "Save Me The Trouble", Mooney is truly the most gifted vocalist that I have ever come across. I did not think it was possible, but he continues to get even better from album to album. I cannot wait to hear his incredible vocals on the duo's forthcoming sixth studio album.
