Tucker receives four Grammy nominations
Tucker received nominations for Song Of The Year: "Bring My Flowers Now," Best Country Album: While I'm Livin', Best Country Solo Performance: "Bring My Flowers Now," and Best Country Song: "Bring My Flowers Now." The four nominations lead all 2020 Country Grammy nominees. Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, "While I'm Livin'", Tucker's first new album in 17 years was released in August. The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards will take place on Jan. 26, 2020 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
"I wish I had a trampoline to jump on right now. This is just unbelievable," said Tucker. "I couldn't have done this without the fans, Brandi and Shooter, and the whole Tanya Tucker Team. What's different now more than ever is the fans on social media and streaming made this record an instant success. What just happened, I'd never, ever fathom."
The four nominations mark a career high for Tucker. Tucker landed her first nomination with "Delta Dawn" in 1972 for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female.
Lil Nas X was nominated for record of the year for the remix of "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, and album of the year for "7," an eight-song EP. He is also up for best new artist.
