It’s safe to say Blake Shelton‘s having one of the best days of his life today. This morning, he announced the nominees for the 45th Annual ACM Awards with pal Reba McEntire — and heard his name announced as a nominee for Vocal Event of the Year for his duet with Trace Adkins — and the title cut from his new EP — “Hillbilly Bone.”

“This is the best day of my life – I got to read the nominations with the ‘queen of country music,’ Reba,” said Shelton. “And, then I find out ‘Hillbilly Bone’ is nominated! I’m glad that my first nomination in years is with one of my great friends, Trace Adkins. The only thing that could make this day better is if Betty White was there to give me the award should I win!”
