Back in July 2021, Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood teamed up for a powerhouse duet that quickly made waves in the country music world. The track, “If I Didn’t Love You,” dives deep into the raw emotions of heartbreak and longing—something both artists delivered with heart-wrenching honesty.
The song didn’t just resonate with fans; it made history. Debuting at No. 2 on the Hot Country Songs chart, it became the highest-charting debut for a male-female duet in country music history. Talk about a strong start!
To go along with the release, Aldean and Underwood dropped a lyric video featuring studio footage of their recording session, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at their chemistry. Later, in September 2021, they followed up with an official music video, which racked up millions of views in no time.
Even though the duet was an instant hit, fans had to wait a few months before seeing the two stars perform it together live. That big moment came at the CMA Awards in November 2021—and it was well worth the wait.
Before that live debut, Aldean got creative during a solo concert in August 2021. He sat at a piano and began singing the emotional ballad, and just when the audience started wondering how Carrie would fit in… she appeared on a giant screen behind him! Her pre-recorded vocals and performance turned it into a virtual duet that gave fans chills.
It was a beautiful way to bring the duet to life on stage—even if one of the voices was coming in from afar. And judging by the reaction, the fans loved every second of it.
