Country Duets Are The Best
Duets are some of the most popular songs in country music. All you have to do is look at the success of songs such as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogersโ โIslands in the Streamโ to know the truth of that statement.
Another hit country duet has emerged in more recent times. Performed by Keith Urban and featuring Carrie Underwood, โThe Fighterโ battled its way to country radio stations all over the map, and claimed the top spot on the chart.
Urban and Underwood have performed the song at countless awards shows, including the Grammys, and CMT Music Awards.
But the two obviously canโt be together every time Urban wants to sing โThe Fighterโ live.
The Perfect Solution
So when Underwood was unable to attend the 2017 CMA Fest in Nashville, Urban found a creative solution. Underwood taped herself singing her parts to the song before Urban took the stage, and he kept that footage in his back pocket to surprise his fans.
As the packed crowd listened to Urban sing, they were surprised to see Underwoodโs image suddenly appear on one of the screens next to the stage.
Wearing a shirt with Urbanโs Ripcord cover art on the front, Underwood grooved along to the music as she sang.
Weโre glad that Urban added that special touch to his performance. โThe Fighterโ just isnโt the same without Underwood singing with him! Tune in below to watch Urban work a little CMA Fest magic with Underwood on โThe Fighter.โ
This is one song we will never get tired of listening to!
