Memphis native Justin Timberlake trekked over to Nashville on Wednesday night for the CMA Awards, joining country crooner Chris Stapleton for a duet of the former's "Drink You Away."

Stapleton won the award for New Artist of the Year earlier in the night, moments before he and Timberlake stole the show with an incredible, soulful performance that also included a live rendition of "Tennessee Whiskey," the classic originally recorded by David Allan Coe and covered by George Jones and most recently Stapleton himself.
