It was another big night for homegrown country music artist Kimberly Schlapman. Schlapman and her band Little Big Town won single (Girl Crush) and vocal group of the year honors at the 49th annual Country Music Association awards. The writers of their hit song Girl Crush won for song of the year. The awards ceremony, broadcast live Wednesday night from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, was the perfect backdrop for LBT to celebrate their anniversary. The group’s been together 17 years this month. “We could never have dreamed up where God was going to take us on this journey,” Schlapman a Cornelia native and Habersham Central High School grad said. “We’re so grateful for every single step of the way and for your sweet hearts and your sweet faces who brought us here.”
The group took to social media after their big win to thank their fans:
What an unbelievable night. Thank you to all the people that have been on this incredible journey with us. You know who you are… It’s time to celebrate! #CMAawards Posted by Little Big Town on Wednesday, November 4, 2015
