But before Underwood and Aldean were revealed as the Video of the Year winners, Underwood took to the stage to sing “Ghost Story.”

In the leadup to the ceremony, Underwood was teasing the fact that this performance would be unlike any other she’s ever done. She wasn’t kidding!

Underwood’s performance was pretaped at Resorts World Las Vegas, the home of her Reflection residency.

Vegas performances are known for being elaborate, and Underwood’s performance was no exception. She started off by singing on a raised platform in the middle of the stage as a group of acrobats performed around her while using aerial silks.

Then, in a stunning moment, Underwood joined the acrobats in her own set of silks. She delivered the end of the song while suspended in midair!
