\"I don't know what I did to be so lucky,\" he added.

John Osborne also thanked his family and expanded on the song's message during their speech.

\"I want to thank my little brother for always being great,\" he said. \"This is a song called ‘Younger Me,’ and I think if I want to thank somebody, I want to thank my younger self for just pursuing this.\"

\"We all have a younger self in us -- thank them because they got you here and take care of that person.\"

T.J. Osborne previously opened up about how \"Younger Me\" is a reflection of his personal journey before performing it at the 2021 CMA Awards.

\"There were so many things that were so many hurdles for me and I always felt, truthfully felt, like it would never be possible, because of my sexuality, to be here,\" he said. \"And I just wish ... I wish my younger me could see me now.\"

The country music duo is also up for best country album for its third studio album, \"Skeletons,\" at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
