Dan + Shay Share Emotional Tribute To Their 10 Years Of Friendship

Dan + Shay have come a long way in the last decade!

Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney are celebrating the anniversary of the day they met, on December 7, 2012. Since that day, “our lives were changed forever,” the now-award-winning country duo reflected on Wednesday (December 7). Dan + Shay posted a reel packed with throwback photos and set to their 2014 smash-hit, “19 You + Me.”

“With your love + support, we’ve been able to accomplish so many incredible things that we’ve dreamed of since we were little kids,” Smyers and Mooney wrote in their caption. “The one thing that has been a constant throughout our decade long journey is our friendship. More importantly than anything else, we’re genuinely just two best friends who get to do what we love together and we wouldn’t trade it for the world. As we’re currently working on our 5th album, our relationship is stronger than it’s ever been and our sense of gratitude is at an all-time high. Looking through these photos this morning brought back so many memories and tears, but we feel like we’re only just getting started. We’re more focused than ever and know our best music is yet to come. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for continuing to believe in us. It means more than you’ll ever know.”
