If Silk Sonic went country… they’d look a little something like this. During Thursday night’s CMA Awards ceremony, Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert, or Lamberton if you will, performed their collaboration, “A Song to Sing,” which finds them giving their country sound a disco twist.
Surrounded by a full band and dressed in matching burgundy suits and beige country hats, the duo performed beneath a giant disco ball. (The only thing missing was a roller rink!) “You are a part of me / Baby, you’re the heart of me,” the duo harmonized on the track. “Together we can write a song to sing.”

Stapleton and Lambert released the song in July, drawing inspiration from the classic duets made iconic by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in that era. They followed it with a roller-rink–filmed video the next month. Lambert and Stapleton wrote “A Song to Sing” with Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor, and Dave Cobb produced the track.
“Chris understands the emotion of this song from the inside out, because he and Morgane [Stapleton’s wife] have both lived it,” Lambert previously said of the song. “To have someone so soulful and willing to go into the heart of the feelings, to share the pull of the road and creative life — and what that means when you love someone with every bit of your being is next level. When we finished it, we both knew we wanted to release it, to share it with everyone.”
This year, Lambert is up for Female Vocalist of the Year for the 18th time, tying the record held by Reba McEntire. For his part, Stapleton is up for both Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. If he wins, he could extend his record for Male Vocalist of the Year wins to nine with five consecutive wins in the category. Stapleton’s visual for “Think I’m in Love with You” was also nominated for Music Video of the Year.
Along with Stapleton and Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Zach Top, Old Dominion, and BigXThaPlug are also scheduled to perform at this year’s awards show. Lainey Wilson is hosting the 2025 CMA Awards from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
