Beyoncé made her CMA Awards debut Wednesday night when she took the stage with fellow Texas act the Dixie Chicks to perform the former's Lemonade single "Daddy Lessons."

Word had leaked earlier today that Bey would be performing, but her Dixie Chicks collaboration was particular interesting, considering the liberal-leaning outfit has been somewhat estranged from the country music world in recent years.

It's actually not the first time the Dixie Chicks have performed the song, which they've covered live on tour this year. A studio version of the Beyoncé-Dixie Chicks "Daddy Lessons" was also released immediately after the performance.
