Rocker Elle King joined Miranda Lambert in their fun video for “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).” This isn’t Elle King’s first country awards show nomination. She’s been previously nominated for Musical Event of the Year for her duet with Dierks Bentley to “Different for Girls” at both the CMA Awards and ACM Awards. The music video for said song also earned her nominations at the CMT Music Awards too. She and Dierks won the CMA award. King was also nominated for Musical Event of the Year at the CMAs and ACMs for “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” which she also recorded with Lambert.
Congratulations again to the duet partners – it is well-deserved!
