It is finally Grammy Sunday and some of the early winners in the country music categories have been announced hours before the live telecast.
Tanya Tucker, who will also be performing on the Grammy stage tonight, has already been awarded TWO Grammy trophies, one for Best Country Album and Best Country Song.
Tucker took the stage to accept her Best Country Album Grammy with her co-producers, Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, and co-writers Phil and Tim Hanseroth.
“You know, after almost 50 years in this business, after many dreams, it’s unbelievable to me that I’d have a few ‘firsts’ left. So, after 14 trips, 14 nominations, this is the first win,” said Tucker.
