In November 2023, Luke Combs treated fans to a touching acoustic rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know” at the BMI Country Awards, where both artists were honored by sharing the prestigious BMI Songwriter of the Year award.
“Thought You Should Know,” a deeply personal ballad written by Wallen with Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon, is a heartfelt tribute to Wallen’s mother and appears on his album One Thing at a Time. Combs introduced the song with a heartfelt praise, expressing his admiration for it, which set the tone for his powerful performance.
This duet of sorts showcased the respect and camaraderie between Combs and Wallen, despite their frequent competition atop the charts. Both have earned massive popularity, with their music regularly topping country and mainstream charts.
In a sweet turn of events, Wallen returned the favor at the same ceremony by covering Combs’ “Going, Going, Gone,” further proving the mutual admiration these two stars have for each other.
Combs shared his performance on social media, where fans quickly praised his unique interpretation of Wallen’s emotional track, appreciating the fresh spin he brought to it.
This moment came on the heels of Combs’ success at the CMAs, where he won Song and Single of the Year for his cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Wallen, of course, continues to dominate with his chart-topping hits, proving that both of these country music titans are on a hot streak.
The night at the BMI Awards highlighted the growing bond between these two powerhouses, showing that while they may compete in the charts, they consistently support each other’s artistry and success. Fans were delighted by their shared moment, a true testament to their influence in shaping the future of country music.
