We never thought we’d want to see Carrie Underwood collaborate with Post Malone, but it is really something!
The video starts with Elvis singing his 1968 hit “If I Can Dream” from his 1968 comeback special in a dark room with his name in bright red lights behind him. Underwood took over the next verse, standing in an identical set as the 1968 special.
Since this was filmed in October 2018, she was six months pregnant and looked absolutely stunning while singing the Elvis tune. Mendes sang next, followed by Post Malone, then Darius Rucker, who showcased his insane soulful vocals, going toe-to-toe with The King.
Shelton, wearing a leather jacket, chimed in next, actually getting to share the screen with Presley, who then finished out the song solo.
“Thank you, good night,” The King said, out of breath from his incredible performance. If the other tributes are going to be anything like this one, we can’t wait for the special to air on Sunday!
Watch the incredible performance of “If I Can Dream” below.
