Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson teamed up at the CMA Awards last week to perform a stirring rendition of “Rainbow Connection” from the 1979 film “The Muppet Movie.”
Musgraves won Female Vocalist of the Year and Music Video of the Year, adding to a growing list of honors that includes six Grammy Awards.
Her duet with Nelson was a highlight of that night ― and over the weekend, she shared an old clip that shows just how far back she goes with the song.
The footage shows her singing “Rainbow Connection” more than 20 years ago at the age of 9, already with the makings of her unmistakable voice:
Nelson has his own history with the song, which he performed on his 2001 album, also titled “Rainbow Connection.”
Musgraves summed up their duet on Twitter:
REAL LIFE. REAL NEWS. REAL VOICES.
Help us tell more of the stories that matter from voices that too often remain unheard.
