Billy Ray Cyrus

And the nominees are ...

It was completely unexpected!

The duo gave a funny and touching speech for their big award of the night.

The hitmaker made his first MTV Video Music Awards performance not with the expected "Old Town Road," but with his new single.

"I told myself, 'You know, I've said everything I needed to say,'" Cyrus tells Taste of Country.

When Walker McGuire called it quits, Johnny McGuire could've called it quits too.

His contribution keeps whistling along.

Fendi sports bras? Nah, that's not what Billy wanted to say.

We tip our hats to the man who made our hearts all achy and breaky.

We're here for it!
