Country music has had its fair share of country music duos, from the 1970s to today's country music. To honor Dan Smyers' 35th birthday today (8/16), we look at ten of the most popular country duos in country music history.
We are not counting solo artists like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill or Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, who teamed together for a series of duets, but true blue country duos.
Dan + Shay

Brooks & Dunn
Rick Diamond/Getty ImagesPut together by their record label after years of both of them in solo careers, the pairing of Ronnie and Kix was genius and scored the guys' superstar status. In 2019, they became members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Sugarland
Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesThis group started as a trio but then was whittled down to a duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. They scored many hit songs and awards before breaking up in 2011 when their stage collapsed during a storm before a show in Indiana and killed seven people.
Montgomery Gentry

The Bellamy Brothers
Scott Gries/Getty ImagesThese guys were huge in the 1970s and even had pop chart success. These two brothers from Florida still play shows as a duo.
Maddie & Tae
Christopher Polk/Getty ImagesThese two best friends just won their first CMT Award in 2022. The duo is embarking as the headliners this fall for the 2022 CMT Next Women Of Country tour.
Florida Georgia Line
Rick Diamond/Getty ImagesThese two guys had amazing success with their songs and pop-style collaborations through the last decade. This year (2022), the guys have gone their separate ways to embark on solo careers with two different record labels.
The Judds
Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesTragedy struck this legendary mother/daughter duo as Naomi Judd took her own life in April of 2022, just before they were to go on their final tour as The Judds and one day before they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Wynonna is currently on The Judds' last tour without her mother but with support from several country stars, including Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
Brothers Osborne
Jason Kempin/Getty ImagesThese two brothers have made a significant mark in country music in the last five years and finally won a Grammy for their work after seven Grammy nominations. They are currently touring and made a massive splash to a sold-out crowd of 60,000 at the 2022 CMA Fest in Nashville.
Big & Rich
Christopher Polk/Getty ImagesThis country duo started a movement dubbed the MuzikMafia (an abbreviation for Musically Artistic Friends in Alliance) in the early 2000s. Their hit "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" was huge for them, and the accompanying video quickly became CMT's most requested video for four weeks straight.
