Chris Stapleton

Long before their iconic 2015 CMAs performance, Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake were pals.

Country music always tells a story.

Stapleton's got a knack for being a part of memorable CMAs performances, like his duet with Jennifer Hudson at the 2021 show.

It was a huge night for him.

The actor and singer took the CMAs stage in 2021 for the first time ever.

This is Stapleton's third lifetime win in the CMA Album of the Year category.

The two vocal titans recorded a new version of Adele's single, 'Easy on Me,' for the deluxe version of her next album.

The news comes four days after the singer and CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee rescheduled a show for Sioux Falls, S.D.

"Joy" finds the pair trying to free themselves from the heaviness of the modern world.

Watch as Jimmy Fallon plays a more than capable support to the country singer.
