<p>It was an emotional night for <strong><a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a></strong> as he accepted his ACA for Music Video of the Year, and performed a slightly choked up version of &#8220;God Gave Me You&#8221; last night. In his acceptance speech Blake dedicated the award to his father Ricky who he said had been having a hard time the last few weeks. For those of us sending our well-wishes, here&#8217;s what we&#8217;re up against. </p>

After the show, Shelton immediately flew home to Oklahoma to be with his family.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks to every one of y&#8217;all who took time to vote for me for the ACAs,&#8221; he tweeted as he left the venue. &#8220;And for all the thoughts and prayers for dad! He&#8217;s happy about it!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Blake, you know our hearts are with you, and I&#8217;m sure your daddy will knock that pneumonia right in the rear, cause that&#8217;s what these Oklahoma men do!</p>
<p>Cheers!<br />
