Last night's (6/9) CMT Music Awards in Nashville was full of first-time performances and collaborations to talk about.
While it wasn't easy, we picked the top five performances of the night.
5. Chris Young and Kane Brown's performance of "Famous Friends."
These guys are so natural together and what a great way to end out the show.
4. Mickey Guyton, BRELAND and Glady Knight's performance of "Friendship Train"
This was just epic when Gladys Knight joined Mickey Guyton on stage to perform along with newcomer Breland.
3. Lady A, Carly Pearce and Lindsay Ell perform "Like a Lady"
The opening number focused on the ladies in "Like A Lady" sung by Lady A, Carly Pearce, Lindsay Ell, and an all-female band.
2. Kelsea Ballerini and LANY's Paul Klein performing "I Quit Drinking"
The rain at the end of this performance was a real showstopper!
1. H.E.R. ft. Chris Stapleton performing "Hold On"
Without a doubt, Chris Stapleton's performance of "Hold On" with H.E.R., complete with guitar solos by both artists, was the highlight of the night.
