AMAs 2020: Dan + Shay wins all 3 awards, including Favorite Country Duo, fans say ‘this couldn't be more rigged’
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of the country duo, Dan + Shay, has possibly bagged all the biggest awards this year at different award shows. Continuing their winning streak, the band took home the Favorite Duo or Group – Country at the 48th edition of Amerian Music Awards.
The duo was nominated in three categories, including the latest one. The other two were Collaboration of the Year and Favourite Song for their track ’10,000 Hours’ featuring Justin Bieber. And guess what, they even scored the wins here as well. Dan + Shay won against nominees Florida Georgia Line and Old Dominion. Apart from winning the awards, the band also serenaded the audience with their performance on their hit single ‘I Should Probably Go To Bed.’
The Internet kept a sharp eye on the AMAs 2020 and was quick to react on Dan + Shay’s third win of the evening. One user said, “i'm sorry, BUT HOW THE HELL DID DAN + SHAY OR WHATEVER THEY ARE WIN??? #AMAs.” Another asserted, “Dan + Shay won more #AMAs tonight than Lady Gaga has won in her entire career. This could not be more rigged "fan voted.” One tweet read: “the amas couldn’t show harry’s award but they could to show dan and shay 3 times.” One user posted, “amas going to hell for making me watch dan and shay.”
