Instead of airing the ACM Awards, which were set to take place on April 5, 2020, CBS aired a TV special titled ACM Presents: Our Country.
The two-hour event offered fans a unique way to enjoy their favorite country stars’ performances with each country artist performing from the comfort of their own homes.
The country artists who have been confirmed to perform include Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown and John Legend, Luke Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton, and Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban.
Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker teamed up not once, but twice during the televised event. They closed out the show with a tribute to the late Kenny Rogers, but earlier in the night, they performed “Lucille” and “The Gambler.”
For the other duet, the two award-winning singers teamed up for a medley of Paisley’s song “Mud On The Tires” and Rucker’s tune “Wagon Wheel.”
Paisley kicked off the duet sitting in the back of his truck and sang “Mud On The Tires” almost in its entirety before he Facetimed Rucker, who then began singing “Wagon Wheel”! Paisley chimed in here and there with some harmonies that were literally music to our ears!
Check out the duet below.
