Scotty McCreery can’t get over a recent night he shared the stage with an artist he’s looked up to since childhood… the “Damn Strait” singer got to take the mic with singer-songwriter Charlie Wilson. McCreery kept reliving the moment he shared with the R&B icon on TikTok on Wednesday (June 1).
“I’ve loved Uncle Charlie since I was a kid,” McCreery captioned, noting in the duet that “nobody does it like Uncle Charlie does it! Go check who the only person I follow on Tis Tok is … The [GOAT]!”
Wilson initially posted the video on Tuesday (May 31), prompting hundreds of comments in response to the cross-genre team-up. “Scottie been waiting for this moment all his life! Do it Scottie!,” “Charlie recognizing Scotty is gold. Music is so damn universal. Country is rooted in soul music. Love this.,” “I’ve loved [Scotty McCreery] since Idol!! Never forget when he did that hip hop song and JLo told him he had some swag!,” and “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That Country Rnb is Hittin💯🤟🏾,” to name a few. Though some commenters admitted they had “no idea” who McCreery was, they still applauded the energy between the two artists on stage. Others called for a country remix, and said the TikTok proves that music is “universal.” One dubbed McCreery and Wilson “the duo I didn’t think I needed!”
