ACM Awards: Dua Lipa joins Chris Stapleton onstage in surprise performance
ACM Male Artist of the Year and Album of the Year winner Chris Stapleton pulled off the surprise of the night with his performance alongside his wife Morgane and pop star Dua Lipa who combined voices for a soulful rendition of "Think I'm in Love With You" that showcased Stapleton's trademark voice, but also showed a new side of Lipa's vocal abilities.
Singing from behind a red Fender Stratocaster guitar, wearing his trademark well-worn hat, Stapleton allowed Lipa to kick off the song with beautifully powerful vocals before he and his wife joined in.
Lipa told radio host Bobby Bones that the two had only gotten together to rehearse a few days ago.
"We've been talking about this for a while," she said. "It was my idea, so I just reached out and this came about. I just feel lucky to have been in Chris and Morgane's orbit for a few days.
