Last night the 49th Annual CMA Awards were held in Nashville, TN and to say it was memorable would be an understatement. There was one stand out performance that most folks are still talking about and re-watching today, Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake. These two artists stole the show and even had other artists like Keith Urban pulling out their phones to record this amazing performance. If you missed the show, we highly recommend you look up this stunning performance of “Tennessee Whiskey” and “ Drink You Away”.
Other performance collaborations included: Keith Urban & John Mellencamp, Thomas Rhett & Fall Out Boy, Dierks Bentley & Lindsey Stirling, Hank Williams, Jr. & Eric Church, and Brooks & Dunn with the lovely Reba McEntire. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood were the show’s hosts again and like the past years pulled it off to perfection. They have the ability to keep viewers engaged and the comedy rolling.
