Willie Nelson and Kacey Musgraves teamed up for a duet at the 2019 CMA Awards tonight in Nashville. They took to the stage at Bridgestone Arena for a rendition of the iconic Muppet Movie song “Rainbow Connection.” Watch it happen below.
The two artists have collaborated before; back in 2015, Musgraves enlisted Nelson for her Pageant Material single Are You Sure?. Kacey Musgraves was up for three awards at this year’s CMAs, including Song of the Year (“Rainbow”). She won Female Vocalist of the Year and Music Video of the Year (for “Rainbow”). Musgraves’ last studio LP was 2018’s Golden Hour, which won Album of the Year at the 2019 Grammys.
