Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Eric Church snagged the Collaborative Video of the Year award at the 2013 CMT Awards for 'The Only Way I Know.' Was anyone shocked? Did anyone think that three of the biggest male singers in country music coming together for one song and one video wouldn't take this award? The trio was pretty much a shoo-in.

Aldean, who pulled double duty as the host of the ceremony, joked that he was glad Bryan wasn't on site to be a part of the acceptance speech, saying he would be stumbling around when trying to talk or crying. That was probably a reference to Bryan's emotional reaction to nabbing the prestigious and coveted Entertainer of the Year award at the ACMs earlier this year.

Nevertheless, Aldean thanked the usual suspects: country radio, CMT and the fans for their support.

Church, who was on site and onstage to participate in the acceptance speech, thanked Jason for letting them do the track together. He also thanked "Luke, wherever the hell he is." Wow, Luke Bryan really was missed at the CMT Awards!

Congrats to Aldean, Bryan and Church on their big 'Collaborative' win.
