Riley Green and Ella Langley stole the show at the 58th annual CMA Awards at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (November 20), performing summer smash hit, "You Look Like You Love Me."
Offering an extremely cinematic take on the story behind the standout track, both artists emerged from the audience when their verses began, and the crowd went wild.
Langley was first to make her way to the stage in a jaw-dropping, sheer, black dress, sitting on a bar stool waiting for a man in a cowboy hat.
All of a sudden, Green appeared from within a sea of cowboy boots (like glass on a sawdust floor), dressed in a velvet blazer and matching cowboy hat, and Langley immediately thought she could use some of that! Both performers found themselves on the same stage, at the same bar, with the same thought, perfectly uncovering the tale behind the beloved track.
The star-studded duo performed the viral hit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month, just after Langley released the deluxe version of her latest album, Still Hungover, on November 1st.
As for Green, the "There Was This Girl" hitmaker released his third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do, in October and is currently in the middle of a North American tour with his next show slated for December 3rd in Tampa, Florida.
Other artists who took the stage at this year's CMA Awards included Shaboozey, Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, and Kelsea Ballerini, to name only a few.
