I’ve cried just watching everybody and the music I grew up on. I want to thank everybody and it means so much to get to be a part of country music. Country music, these are the best people in the world. All of the fans and all of the people that make it too, they are wonderful people. I want them all to know that,” said Stapleton graciously.
