The unannounced performance captivated the audience, with fans calling it the highlight of the night. Social media was abuzz with praise, as one user wrote that Carrie “saved the Country Music Association Awards this year,” while others described the duet as “amazing” and “so beautiful.”
Carrie’s appearance was especially surprising since this marked the first time in her career she wasn’t nominated or listed as a performer. Still, her stunning vocals and connection with Cody reminded everyone why she’s a fan favorite.
Elsewhere during the evening, Morgan Wallen took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, while Chris Stapleton was honored with Song of the Year for White Horse and Male Vocalist of the Year. Lainey Wilson continued her winning streak, claiming the title of Female Vocalist of the Year.
