The two singers modernized their rendition of an inspiring, classic song to honor the greats while showcasing their undeniable talents. Tackling the tune head-on during her 2009 special titled Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special, Underwood invited Paisley to a Skype session in order to bring the two stars together from distant locations.

After a bit of jokes, the two began to sing the timeless hit “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man”, giving their duet an extra dose of fire and sass. “Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man/ We get together every time we can/ The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart/ There’s too much love in the Mississippi heart/ Too much love in this Louisiana heart,” they passionately sang.
