Thank you Luke and Barry for writing this song with me. I look up to you both so darn much. Somebody’s Daughter also won Video of the Year last night which is so crazy.

Finally unpacked from its week-long stay in Calgary, AB, the Canadian
Country Music Association® (CCMA) is celebrating the
incredible outcomes surrounding the 2019 CCMA Awards presented by TD.
Working alongside new partners this year — Corus Entertainment’s Global TV and
TD Bank — the 2019 CCMA Awards charted significant year over year audience
growth in coveted key demos with a confirmed audience increase of 19% for Ind.
2+, 15% for adults 25-54, and an incredible 53% increase amongst females 25-54*
for its broadcast on Global. 2019 also saw the CCMA take new initiative
to increase the platform for Canadian artists. As part of their multi-year
partnership with Global TV, the CCMA saw this year’s Awards Show simulcast live
via three Canadian country radio stations — Corus’ Country 105 (Calgary), CISN Country 103.9 (Edmonton),
and Country 104 (London/Woodstock).
Calgary’s Country 105 claimed top spot with its broadcast of the CCMA Awards,
ranking #1 with adults 18+ and 25-54**. With the 2019 CCMA Awards
presented by TD stage being brought to life by co-hosts Dallas Smith and Billy
Ray Cyrus and performances by Tenille
Townes, Lindsay Ell and The
Reklaws, it was clear that the CCMA’s continued focus on
digital reach was a top priority. In an effort to increase last year’s
potential social reach exponentially, the CCMA worked alongside production
partner Notable Life and the Country Music Week 2019 Host Committee to ensure
top-level content creators had access to some of the show’s most memorable
moments. These efforts, alongside three full days of Country Music Week events,
resulted in a record 84.3M impressions across social.
