What Happened When Reba McEntire Invited Lauren Daigle to Join Her on Stage for a Soul-Baring Duet Took Everyone by Surprise—and the Resulting Performance Was So Moving, So Powerful, and So Perfect That It Left the Crowd in Tears and the Internet in Total Awe
Reba McEntire brought a host of power and meaning to the 2017 ACM Awards with her performance of “Back to God.”
McEntire was joined by award-winning Christian singer Lauren Daigle, who showed off her stunning vocals while holding her own with the country legend. The country star’s voice sounded pitch-perfect as always, powerfully delivering the song’s spiritual lyrics.
Both ladies looked just as lovely as their voices sounded, with Daigle donning a beautiful floor-length red gown, while McEntire rocked an equally gorgeous beige dress. A captivated crowd were on their feet for the duration of the performance — Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban swayed along to the meaningful song. McEntire got a bit teary eyed at the end of the performance as the singers received a spirited standing ovation.
“Back to God” serves as the lead single off of McEntire’s debut gospel album Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope. The project recently topped both the country and Christian album charts. She is currently filming her new drama series set to air on ABC that finds the country star playing a sheriff named Ruby Adair in a small Southern town.
