Beautiful interview! Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless speak at The 56th Annual CMA Awards Rehearsals at Bridgestone Arena on November 8, 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Footage by Adam Finmann/Getty Images for CMA)
What is this amazingness! I literally just gasped when this popped up! Do you see how Chris adoringly watches her speak??? He knows he is in the presence of an icon! And Patty! PATTTTTY! She is sweet as a peach and still so humbled and grateful for all of her success! Stapleton/Loveless album needed stat 🤍
💯 and as a fan of hers too long than I care to mention, I love that he’s essentially introducing her to a younger audience that may not be too familiar with her. It absolutely makes me tear up to see him with her. Precious.
The great thing about these two performers is that, pardon my French, they're both no bullsh•t singers. They have pure raw talent--they're not "flashy" live. They just sing in very soulful, unique ways, knowing how to merge into a song and become one with it, despite powerful, emotive voices.
Chris, please help this National Treasure get into the Country Music Hall of Fame and thank you for having the notion to have her Light shine once again on all of us. Nobody has ever told a story like Patty. Not only was it from the heart, it was from every heart of her generation and all of the generations before her.
Patty should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame. What's the problem? She has the album sales and everybody that's in the Hall wants to sing with her. I don't know why she's been overlooked.
Patty, Chris and Morgane, and the band absolutely slayed the song and the CMA's... end of story. One of those rare experiences that seldom comes along where during the song (or ballad) your can close your eyes and actually feel like your soul is wherever they're singing about. That is what their performance did for me. Best of the BEST !
I've been a Patty Loveless fan since the first time I heard her sing "If My Heart Had Windows" (I'm holding on to all those CDs that I still listen to) And seeing her perform with Chris Stapleton......what a touching performance. We love you Chris Stapleton & Patty Loveless! and we miss seeing you onstage Patty!
I agree that this was the best part of the show. Sometimes songs and performances combine to reach down inside of you to touch your soul and open it up. This song does that to me: first time I heard it, and everytime that I've watched the video since, it just creates this feeling of emptiness inside of me, shortens my breathing and brings tears to my eyes. Patty sings with such desperation and sadness, she captures the situation in Harlan and Chris knows he is along for the ride in something very special.
Thank u for ur great performance...have missed u...it was the Best part of the whole show...thank u Chris for makin this happen...love u both Merry Christmas to u both n ur families as well
Watching again. The best CMA performance ever. Patty, Chris and Morgane did the best singing ever. I seen Patty at the then new Bell County school in the 80's. It was part of the Mountain Laurel Festival. The flooding in Kentucky last year didn't effect the area of Bell County where I still live. I appreciated Chris, Patty, and the others from eastern Kentucky doing the show to raise money for the people in eastern Kentucky that suffered through those floods. God Bless them.
