After his name was announced on Tuesday, a tearful Urban, 51, took the stage to accept the award, while his wife shed some tears of her own in the audience.

“Thank you so much,” Urban said. “Baby girl, I love you so much. I am shocked.”

He then referenced their two children, Faith, 7, and Sunday, 10 (whom he affectionately referred to as “Munchkin”). “Thank you for supporting me and loving me through all that I do,” he continued. “Thank you for supporting Daddy. You make it all worthwhile.”

The country star went on to thank his fans, country radio, and his late father, who died of cancer in 2015. “I wish my dad was alive to see this but I think he’s watching over me tonight,” he said. “I am very grateful that I get to do what I do.”
