Their intimate duet showcased not only their exceptional musical talents but also their undeniable connection, making it one of the most unforgettable moments of the night.
Co-written by Stapleton and Miranda Lambert, What Am I Gonna Do is a heartfelt ballad from his album Higher, exploring the pain of love lost and the struggle to move forward. With Morgane’s harmonies perfectly complementing Chris’s soulful delivery, the song’s raw emotion resonated deeply, pulling listeners into its melancholy yet beautiful storytelling.
The stage was set for an intimate moment—dim lighting, Stapleton’s signature bluesy guitar riffs, and the couple standing close together, lost in the music. Morgane’s harmonies added a haunting depth to the song, elevating its emotional weight and making it feel almost personal, as if they were singing just to each other.
The performance was a highlight in an already stellar night for Stapleton, who also took home multiple awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year. Fans and critics alike praised the duet, with many calling it one of the most powerful moments of the evening.
Chris and Morgane have long been one of country music’s favorite musical duos, and their CMA performance was yet another reminder of why.
