Country music singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton performed his single “Cold” during the 64th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday night.

Pre-ceremony, the Kentucky native won best country solo performance for “You Should Probably Leave” and best country song for “Cold.” During the show, he won best country album with “Starting Over.”

Stapleton, known for his well-worn cowboy hat and ZZ Top-esque beard, absolutely wailed on stage as he played guitar along to “Cold,” proving just why that particular cut was an award winner. Much like with Rodrigo, Eilish and Carlile’s performances earlier in the evening, Stapleton’s voice was the main attraction, each word delivered with such intention and passion. It was certainly enhanced by the string section and his backing band, which gave the song some dazzle on music’s biggest night.

In March, Stapleton won male artist of the year at the 57th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, beating out Jimmie Allen, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Thomas Rhett.
