Chris Stapleton and H.E.R paired up as an unlikely duo to perform “Hold On” together at this year’s CMT Music Awards and the results were legendary!

Under the glowing pink and blue lights, the two singer-songwriters joined forces to deliver a powerful performance. Although this is far from Stapleton’s first time at the CMT Music Awards, it was  H.E.R’s first appearance at a country awards show! 

Deemed by many viewers as an unlikely pairing, the two not only share incredible talent but incredible respect for one another!
