Chris Stapleton wins best country album at 2022 Grammys & gives birthday shout-out to his twins

Chris Stapleton, 43, won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, he’d won best country song for “Cold” and best country solo performance for “You Should Probably Leave.”

“I’m thinking a lot about sacrifices, ’cause I missed out on some of their birthdays today,” the father of five said after congratulating his twin kids on their 4th birthday on Sunday.

“Everybody in this room has made some kind of a sacrifice to be up here doing this, and I don’t know what it is for everybody, but I know that it hurts sometimes,” Stapleton continued.

“But hopefully we’re all doing it so we make the world a better place, and the people that live in it will love each other and have a good time together and come together. So thank you so much for this award,” he concluded.

Following a rough year, Stapleton released Starting Over in November 2020, and said in January in an Apple Music short film that he hoped listeners will “find something that speaks to them” and “feel something” in the album.

Starting Over is the follow-up to Stapleton’s critically acclaimed 2015 album Traveller, as well as From A Room: Volume 1, which was published in May 2017 before being followed by From A Room: Volume 2, which was released in December 2017.

Stapleton’s album was previously named album of the year at the CMA Awards in 2021. “I want to thank my wife again; I can’t do this without her ever,” he remarked as he won the trophy, gazing to his wife and partner Morgane Stapleton in the audience.

He continued at the time, “And I want to say thank you to everybody that listened to the record, everybody that listens to music, you know, like country music fans.”

“It’s always an honor to receive album [of the year],” Chris Stapleton said. “We work really hard to make albums, we believe in albums, and we like what that is. Thank you CMAs, thanks everybody, thank you so much.”
