The surprise nominee popped up in the category of Best Country Performance by a Group or Duo, where Joey and Rory's take on the classic "If I Needed You" garnered a nomination, despite not getting any radio airplay, no press, and no critical acclaim.

The song, which was recorded by the real life couple as a love letter to their young daughter, came as Joey entered Hospice care as she battles cervical cancer. Check it out below.
