Cape Town - Country duo Dan + Shay went from country radio favourites to pop crossovers with the success of the Grammy-nominated Tequila, which has earned them a performing slot at this year’s Grammy Awards.
In an interview with Billboard in 2018 the group's Shay Mooney said: "This year has definitely been a game changer in the Dan + Shay camp...It's changed the trajectory of our career completely."
Dan Smyers added: "There were people telling us before we put out Tequila that it wouldn’t work. (The doubters said) country radio won’t play a ballad. No one drinks tequila."
