Kelly Clarkson & Vince Gill’s ‘Don’t Rush’ Stuns at the 46th CMAs – Instant Classic?
The 46th Annual CMA Awards had no shortage of standout moments, but one performance truly stole the show—Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill’s debut of Don’t Rush. And let’s just say, it was pure magic.
With Kelly’s smooth, sultry vocals and Vince’s signature soulful guitar work, the performance had the entire audience—filled with country music’s biggest stars—on their feet for a standing ovation. It was the first time the duo had ever performed the song live, yet they delivered it with the chemistry and polish of longtime collaborators.
Don’t Rush is the latest release from Clarkson’s upcoming album, Greatest Hits: Chapter One (out November 16), and if this performance is anything to go by, the track is destined for country music greatness.
Kelly, who was also nominated for ‘Female Vocalist of the Year’, has already proven she can shine in any genre, but this? This felt like a defining moment in her crossover into country-soul perfection.
And let’s make a bold prediction—‘Don’t Rush’ is a surefire contender for ‘Vocal Event of the Year’ at next year’s CMAs.
