Cody Johnson And Carrie Underwood’s “I’m Gonna Love You” Performance Brings Down The House At The CMA Awards

Cody Johnson, donning a cowboy hat that perfectly captured the spirit of the evening, took the stage at the Country Music Association Awards with a performance that truly captivated the crowd. Teaming up with Carrie Underwood, who looked stunning in a long white crochet gown, the two artists delivered a heartfelt rendition of “I’m Gonna Love You.”

The performance was enhanced by a large screen showcasing picturesque country imagery — from sweeping mountain landscapes to horses galloping across the plains.

Their chemistry was undeniable, creating an intimate, almost magnetic atmosphere that drew the audience in. As they sang, it was as if they were in their own world, locked in a shared emotional space, gazing into each other’s eyes.

The video of their captivating performance quickly went viral, gaining nearly 1M views within a month. Fans couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly their voices blended, with many noting how it felt like they were listening to the original studio recording.

Some viewers online agree that it should be awarded for a “Performance Of The Year” while some admitted to having goosebumps when watching its live version. A person commented, “These two are amazing together! Carrie is by far one of the absolute best vocalists in music. She’s been snubbed so many times by the CMAs. She can sing any genre of music and sound incredible. Cody is by far the best male vocalist.”
