Here Are the 2017 Billboard Music Awards Winners
The winners in the 2017 Billboard Music Awards have already begun to be announced, and some of the biggest stars in country music are among the early winners.
Kenny Chesney is going into the live broadcast as a double winner. He took honors for Top Country Tour, as well as Top Country Collaboration for his work with Pink on "Setting the World on Fire."
As Taste of Country predicted, Chris Stapleton's Traveller won Top Country Album. Hillary Scott and the Scott Family won Top Christian song for "Thy Will."
Florida Georgia Line lead the country nominations in 2017 with six, including the all-genre Top Duo/Group category and Top Country Artist, where they'll face off against Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Stapleton and Jason Aldean.
