An early morning interview on CBS This Morning quickly turned into an award-winner reveal at the behest of the ACM Awards themselves.
Anchor Anthony Mason was right in the middle of speaking with Kane Brown about his recent projects and happenings when he interrupted the interview with some “breaking news.”
Country music star @KaneBrown is up for two #ACMAwards and is the first Black country music artist to be nominated for Album Of The Year.
He joins us to discuss the nominations ahead of Sunday's @ACMAwards and what it will be like to hit the road for his new tour this fall. pic.twitter.com/lTnBfJPA81

Nominated for both Video of the Year and Album of the Year, Kane seemed to be completely surprised by the announcement and totally overwhelmed with joy when they explained he had won the award for Video of the Year!
His music video for “Worldwide Beautiful” won the category and made history with Kane becoming the first black solo winner of the award.
“Worldwide Beautiful” was the final release from his (also-nominated) album Mixtape, Vol. 1.
Thanks to the fans, the @ACMawards @CBSThisMorning !! ?? #worldwidebeautiful https://t.co/bIAhRAepjA
