When two powerhouse voices like Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood come together, you know you’re in for something special—and in 2006, fans got just that. At the final show of their tour, the pair joined forces for a stunning live version of one of country music’s saddest songs, “Whiskey Lullaby.”
Brad opened the performance solo, sitting quietly with his acoustic guitar as the haunting lyrics filled the room. Then, just as the second chorus hit, Carrie stepped onto the stage. The crowd erupted the moment she began to sing—her voice raw, emotional, and absolutely breathtaking.
The two performed from opposite ends of the stage, adding a visual layer to the story of heartbreak and distance told in the lyrics. It was simple, powerful, and deeply moving.
Originally released in 2003 as a duet between Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, “Whiskey Lullaby” is a devastating ballad about love, loss, and the painful spiral that follows a broken relationship. Its chilling story of two people turning to whiskey to numb the pain hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and even crossed over to No. 41 on the Hot 100.
While the original is unforgettable, Brad and Carrie’s live version brought a whole new depth of emotion to the song—leaving fans heartbroken in the best possible way.
