The award combines the previous categories for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Instrumental Performance (if it is an instrumental solo performance). The restructuring of these categories was a result of the Recording Academy's wish to decrease the list of categories and awards and to eliminate the distinctions between male and female performances.[3]

Recipients

The first winner of the award was Taylor Swift for her song "Mean" in 2012.
Two-time winner Carrie Underwood
Chris Stapleton has the most wins with six in total.
