Will Kelsea Ballerini team up with Carly Pearce and Kelly Clarkson for a live performance of their sassy collaboration?
The Country Music Association Awards ceremony is around the corner, and unnamed production sources for the upcoming show have reportedly told TMZ that Ballerini, Pearce and Clarkson are planning “a very big and powerful performance” of the song on Ballerini’s latest album.
Ballerini released Subject To Change last month. One of the most highly-anticipated songs on the 15-track collection was the “sassbomb yeehaw collab moment” between the three artists (all of whom happen to be divorced women), “You’re Drunk, Go Home.” Ballerini dropped a few hints that her album included one collaboration, and although some fans guessed that Pearce joined her on the song, “I did fool you because it’s not just Carly Pearce.” Ballerini surprised fans a few weeks before she debuted Subject To Change, revealing that “Kelly freakin’ Clarkson” was also part of the trio.
The song appears to have brought the three artists closer. Pearce recently spoke at the CMT Artists of the Year event about how she and Ballerini have helped one another through their respective divorces. She said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: “Kelsea was there for me through mine. I'm there for her through hers. And Kelly just is the queen, so let's go.”
The CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It’s set for Wednesday, November 9 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. See the list of nominees here. Listen to “You’re Drunk, Go Home” here:
