Tyler Childers earned his first GRAMMY Award at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, taking home Best Country Song for “Bitin’ List,” a milestone moment for one of country music’s most distinctive modern voices.
Known for a neotraditional approach that blends plainspoken storytelling with Appalachian-rooted grit, Childers has built a reputation as an artist who can sound timeless without feeling stuck in the past. The GRAMMY win for “Bitin’ List” underscores the strength of his songwriting — sharp, unvarnished, and emotionally direct.
Over the last several years, Childers has grown from a cult favorite into a headlining force, drawing listeners well beyond the traditional country lane. His music’s appeal has long rested on authenticity: characters that feel lived-in, melodies that carry the weight of old-time influence, and performances that hit with unforced conviction.
With his first GRAMMY now in hand, Tyler Childers adds a major career highlight to a catalog that continues to define what modern country can be when it’s rooted, fearless, and true.
