Dan and Shay

Despite only knowing Missy for a few months, the couple is left heartbroken.

"It's just one of those things that happens, you know," the band's Shay Mooney explained backstage in the show's virtual press room.

Dan + Shay don't usually prepare to win any awards — and that's gotten them in trouble during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The bandmates admit that the huge honor was completely unexpected.

Including songs from Blake Shelton, Maren Morris, Jason Aldean and more.

Dan + Shay tell a story of a lonely pandemic Christmas, with a glimmer of hope, in their new music video.

Check out some behind-the-scenes photos before the show airs on Nov. 30.

Tune into the special on NBC this December.

The two, who won every award they were up for, showed off their artistry with a rendition of "I Should Probably Go to Bed."

Darius Rucker, Thomas Rhett, Tim McGraw and many more are also putting on their holiday best and hitting the stage.

Each verse finds the lead singer pining to spend the holidays with his new love.
