The annoying moment occurred when the two singers presented the price of the favorite duo or country group, which finally went to Dan + Shay.
“Country music was an important part of the history of the AMA. The very first year of this show, the prize of the favorite male country artist went to the Grand Charlie Pride,” said Shaboozey of the telepromote.
