Borchetta and EVP Big Machine Label Group/BMLG Records President Jimmy
Harnen surprised the rising superstar on-stage during his set with a
plaque to commemorate. 

“I’m just doing
what I love, so it’s cool to see this music mean something to other
people too,” Young said. “I’m so honored and thankful for the support of
my fans, my team and Country radio for making all of it possible.”

instantly soared up the charts, earning the title of the first Country
song released in 2017 to hit PLATINUM status. The song thrived in the
video format as well, landing a place in Vevo’s Top 10 Videos of 2017
