It’s Luke Combs’ world. We’re just paying rent.

The standout country star picked up two major awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 9) at the Country Music Awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Album of the Year.

With the achievements, Combs becomes the first artist in 13 years to win both awards on the same night.

But wait, there’s more. Combs also perfumed his hit song, “The Kind of Love We Make,” during the show’s live broadcast.

The multiple-time CMA Award-winner won the trophies for his No. 1 album, Growin’ Up. The record features twelve tracks, including Combs’ current single, “Going, Going, Gone,” which was recently sent to country radio and is rapidly rising. 

The accolades add to another monumental year for Combs, who, in an unprecedented feat, immediately sold out his massive 2023 World Tour, including all 16 of the North American stadium dates (see show list below).

With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The trek includes stops at Arlington, Texas’ AT&T Stadium, Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as stops in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France, and Belgium. 

Combs also made history as the first artist ever to have their first two studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—breaking Taylor Swift’s previously held record at 24 weeks. 

Check out his live performance at the CMAs on Wednesday night and his upcoming tour schedule below.
