Sara Kauss/WireImageElle King went zero-for-two at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, but at least she’s got some kind of music award for her trophy shelf: she’s just won her first ever Country Music Association Award.
Elle topped the country charts by duetting with country star Dierks [derks] Bentley on the song “Different for Girls,” from Dierks’ album Black. And on Wednesday morning, just hours before the CMA Awards actually take place in Nashville, it was announced that Elle and Dierks had won the Musical Event of the Year category.
On Instagram, Elle posted a photo of herself and Dierks, with the caption, “Well, we won. What a beautiful celebration of a friendship and song. I love you @dierksbentley ! Congrats to our CMA award! We did it!”
She also posted a photo of herself in a winner’s pose, with the caption, “When you win your first @cma award with your homie.”
