“I’m just taking a minute to soak this in because I have dreamed of winning an award like a CMT Award for so long. This is my very first CMT Award and an award in general, so thank you so much. Thank you, Lord. Thank you so much to the fans. This was a fully fan and friend-voted award, and I would not be on this stage or any stage without you guys, and I know that damn well, so thank you so much.” – Ashley Cooke spoke from the stage
Airing last night live from Austin, Texas on CBS, the achievement serves as Ashley Cooke’s first award nomination and first major award win, marking a significant milestone in her burgeoning career. As she took center stage at the University of Texas’ Moody Center, Cooke stunned in a turquoise ensemble by The Sei and shoes by Charles & Keith before expressing her gratitude to her fans, team, and supporters.
Ashley Cooke – “your place” (Official Music Video)
The music video for “your place” took home the fan-voted award thanks to Cooke’s rapidly growing fanbase of over 1M+ strong. Directed by ACM and CMA award-winner Justin Clough, the video captures the essence of the song’s raw emotions, showcasing Cooke’s autobiographical journey of moving forward and reclaiming her independence after a toxic breakup. As her intrusive ex persistently crosses boundaries that no longer concern him, Cooke draws a firm line.
“your place” continues its upward trajectory at Country Radio now, already finding its place in the Top 15 in just 15 weeks. Joining the company of Lainey Wilson and Carly Pearce as the only females to grace Mediabase’s Top 15, the rise of “your place” marks a significant milestone for the breakout talent. Billboard notes its “real potential at becoming her first radio hit,” further reaffirming her status as an iHeartCountry On The Verge artist.
