Kane Brown is honoring his country music mentor at this year's CMT Artists of the Year event.
Brown also performed at the event event on Wednesday, and used his time on stage to deliver a tribute to Travis with a heartfelt cover of one of his famous tunes.
ET's Cassie DiLaura spoke with Brown on the red carpet ahead of the big show, and he reflected on the role Travis has had in his career. "Randy was a huge help to my success, singing the songs, doing the covers -- his songs, they have meaning to them. He's a great storyteller," recalled Brown, who often performed well-received covers of Travis' hits while coming up in the country music world.
"For all the new artists here in Nashville... he's showing so much support. I wish I would've had that when I was coming up," he explained."He's a great mentor." This is the second year in a row that Brown has been honored as a CMT Artist of the Year, but this year was"especially" meaningful,"Because I get to sing a Randy Travis songGET THE ET NEWSLETTER
