Though he went home empty-handed, Shaboozey had a heckuva night at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 2), where he performed a medley of his hits alongside the other best new artist nominees.

When Billboard caught up with the “Good News” singer backstage after the ceremony — where he was up for five awards — and asked him what his plans were for following up his 19-week Hot 100 No. 1 smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey said one of the items on his to-do list is a team-up with another country chart superstar.


“Stuff’s comin’, man, stuff’s comin’,” Shaboozey said about a potential collaboration with pal Morgan Wallen. “He shot me a text the other day and it’s just good that he’s doing good, taking care of himself, putting out some new music that I feel the world is excited about… and ready for.”

As for his next iteration, Shaboozey said he can’t wait for fans to hear what the follow-up to his breakthrough 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. “I’m so excited about it [my upcoming music]. I feel like I’m now coming into my own,” he said. “This [Grammy Awards] is just an extra treat on top of everything I’ve done so far in my career. I can’t wait to keep it going.”

Shaboozey also said that being nominated in the “big four” Grammy categories — including song of the year and best new artist — was “amazing. Honestly, to be in the big four after just one year of really figuring out the type of music I wanted to make, the sound I wanted to get, the type of songs I wanted to write?” he said. “It’s amazing and honestly I hope that I keep coming and this isn’t just the only year I get to do this.”

Cirkut Won Both Grammy & Juno Awards for Producer of the Year: Who Else Has Done That?

Just two other producers have doubled up — and just one other has done it in the same calendar year.

Cirkut is on a historic awards roll. On Feb. 1, he won the Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. On March 28, he won the Juno Award in his native Canada in the same category (since 2002, the award has been named in honour of Jack Richardson, the late Canadian producer who is probably best known in the U.S. for helming The Guess Who’s 1970 smash “American Woman.”)

Cirkut (born Henry Russell Walter) is just the second producer to win both awards in the same calendar year. The first was David Foster, who took both awards in 1985, when his big credit was the hit-laden Chicago 17. One other producer, Daniel Lanois, has won both awards, but he has yet to win both in the same year.
