Country superstar Keith Urban and pop singer/songwriter Julia Michaels shared a triumphant win at the 2019 CMT Music Awards on Wednesday, June 5 when they took home the Collaborative Video of the Year award for their “Coming Home” video.

The two artists beat out five other collaborations in the staked category, including Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell, Darius Rucker feat. Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Charles Kelley, Dierks Bentley feat. Brothers Osborne and Sugarland feat. Taylor Swift.

Urban and Michaels both accepted the award after walking up to the stage hand-in-hand. Urban, who is nominated in two categories, then shouted out to his beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, who unfortunately couldn’t make the show, as she was busy working in New York.

“I wish you were here baby girl I miss you,” he sweetly said before handing off the microphone to his duet partner.

Speaking of collaborations, the 2019 CMT Music Awards, dubbed “Nashville’s biggest party,” continues to feature several onstage pairings, such as Brandi Carslile and Tanya Tucker, Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow, just to name a few. Urban is also set to take the stage later in the evening.
