Thomas Rhett and Kelsea Ballerini were among the big winners at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 5).

Rhett took home the top country honors of the night, Country Artist of the Year, winning over stars including Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and more.

“My wife is 18 weeks pregnant right now, and so this is also our unborn daughter’s first awards show, so that’s pretty rad," Rhett said in his acceptance speech. Ballerini won Best New Country Artist which was presented off-camera. Dierks Bentley took home Country Song of the Year, and Chris Stapleton won Country Album of the Year.
