Carrie Underwood Shocks CMA Awards Crowd With Surprise Duet Of ‘I’m Gonna Love You’ Alongside Cody Johnson

This unexpected performance won over the CMA Awards crowd.

Carrie Underwood made a surprise appearance during the CMA Awards when she united with Cody Johnson in singing their latest duet, “I’m Gonna Love You.”

Prior to taking the stage, Johnson was one of the only artists who remained tight-lipped about what song he would be showcasing at the star-studded event. But once it was his time to shine, the stage set up made it evident that the new single would be performed live for the very first time. It started out with Johnson singing the first verse solo on stage as the soft melody of the grand piano hummed under his voice.
