Ashley Cooke secured the trophy for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the 2024 CMT Music Awards on Sunday (April 7). She won for her video for "Your Place," which is also her current single at country radio.

"I'm just taking a moment to soak this in because I have dreamed of winning an award like a CMT Award for so long," the budding country artist told the crowd, holding her trophy high. "This is my very first CMT Award and award in general so thank you so much."

The singer also pointed out that her sister — who was her date for the night — was in tears over her win.

Cooke took home the win over several stellar videos: The category included Anne Wilson with "Rain in the Rearview," Brittney Spencer and "Bigger Than the Song" and Tigerlily Gold for "Shoot Tequila."

It was Cooke's only nomination for the night and her first-ever CMT Music Award nomination.

Who Sings "Your Place"?

The story told in the lyrics of "Your Place" is on full display as Cooke sets healthy boundaries following her breakup. Her ex travels up and down an elevator and as the doors open on each floor, he witnesses anther scene of Cooke as she moves on from their relationship.

At last, she switches places with him and enters the elevator, thus exiting their love story forever.
