Katelyn Brown made a memorable CMT Music Awards debut on April 2nd, joining her husband Kane Brown for a heartfelt performance of their hit duet, “Thank God.”
Kane had a busy night, not only performing but also co-hosting the show. He shared that the duet came about after a long two-year search for the right song to sing together.
“I remember getting this song and heading home. I ran upstairs, Katelyn was doing her makeup, and I said, ‘Babe, you’ve got to hear this,’” Kane recalled.
For Katelyn, it was love at first listen. Even though “Thank God” wasn’t originally written as a duet, she immediately felt it was meant for them. “When he brought it home, it was undeniable. I’d turned down other songs before, but this one felt like it was made for us,” she explained.
Kane knew the song was special right away and even predicted they’d end up performing it at award shows—something that has now come true.
Their music video for “Thank God” also earned a nomination for the night’s biggest honor: Video of the Year at the fan-voted awards.
When the couple hit the stage on Sunday night, their chemistry and love were impossible to miss. Kane beamed with pride as Katelyn delivered her first-ever awards show performance—a big step after joining him at concerts in recent months.
The couple’s journey together is just as sweet as their duet. Kane and Katelyn first met in 2016, tied the knot in 2018, and today share two daughters: Kingsley, born in 2019, and Kodi, born in 2021.
