Oops! Chris Stapleton Forgot to Thank Wife Morgane After First 2024 CMA Awards Win — But He Made Up for It
“I owe my wife an apology,” the singer said while accepting his second win of the night Chris Stapleton forgot to thank one important collaborator when he accepted his first win of the night at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards.
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the singer, 46, attended the 58th annual country music awards show in Nashville, where he was nominated for a total of five awards.
Early in the night, he took home the award for single of year for his song “White Horse,” which featured his wife Morgane Stapleton as a producer.
The country star forgot to give her a shout-out during his acceptance speech — but got the chance to make up for it as he secured his second win of the evening for song of the year for the same tune.
“I really am taken aback. Thank you so much for this,” Stapleton said in his second acceptance speech of the night, according to Taste of Country.
“I owe my wife an apology. That last award also belonged to her.”
Stapleton explained that everything “just happened so fast,” but noted, “I really owe a lot to her, so I thank her for her support.”
The 10-time Grammy winner and Morgane — also a singer-songwriter and Stapleton’s bandmate — have been married since 2007.
The “Think I’m in Love with You” earned five nominations this year, including entertainer of the year, single of the year, album of the year, song of the year and male vocalist of the year.
He opened the 2024 ceremony with a high-energy performance of “California Sober” with singer Post Malone.
The two took to the stage in cowboy hats and guitars as they performed the song, which was featured on Malone’s country album F-1 Trillion.
Stapleton gave Morgane a sweet mention at last year’s ceremony when he won male vocalist of the year, saying in his acceptance speech, “I want to thank my wife, Morgane.
I don’t do any of this without her. Certainly don’t get any of these [awards] without her.”
The 58th Annual CMA Awards broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on ABC. The show streams the following day on Hulu.
