Jason
Aldean snagged his first ever Grammy nominations Wednesday night and
tied for the most nods of any country artist with three in the
categories of Best Country Album for “My Kinda Party,” Best Country Solo
Performance for “Dirt Road Anthem” and Best Country Duo/Group
Performance for Don’t You Wanna Stay” with Kelly Clarkson. Aldean said
he was “totally stunned.” “I was feelin’ a pretty big adrenaline rush
from our performance with (rapper Ludacris), and then to be told we had
three nominations was just crazy. We were flying pretty high all
night...there was definitely some celebrating on the flight back to
Nashville,” said Aldean. “That ‘Album’ nomination is what artists dream
of their whole career. And then for both the duet with Kelly and “Dirt
Road” to get some recognition, which were both different kinds of songs
for us this year, it’s just incredible.” Aldean got a standing ovation
for his performance of “Dirt Road Anthem” at the “Grammy Nominations
Concert Live” special. He was joined by fellow Georgia native Ludacris,
who re-wrote a verse of the fan-favorite song earlier this year.
