Darius Rucker, Cassadee Pope and RaeLynn Honor Blake Shelton at CMT’s Artists of the Year
Darius Rucker, Cassadee Pope and RaeLynn honored Blake Shelton by performing his hits, "Sangria" and "Neon Light."
Blake Shelton was among the honorees at last night’s CMT’s Artists of the Year ceremony.
The 90-minute special paid tribute to the top country artists of 2015, live from Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The five artists selected, including Shelton, have collectively dominated the country radio charts and CMT platforms.
The Oklahoma native was treated to a performance by Darius Rucker and his former The Voice contestants, RaeLynn and Cassadee Pope. The singers sang a medley of his hits “Neon Light” and “Sangria.”
After their performance, Shelton accepted the honor.
“This is awesome,” he said. “I haven’t gotten one of these from CMT before, and I’ve been jealous over the last few years, so I’m glad to be in the pack.”
Shelton was honored alongside Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Little Big Town and Sam Hunt.
