Maren Morris teamed up with her husband, Ryan Hurd for a special performance at Monday night’s CMT Awards.

The pair sang “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” a duet featured on Morris’ third studio album, Humble Quest, which was released in late March. In addition, Hurd played guitar while Morris opted for a tambourine during the performance.

“Shoulda known what I was getting in / Fallin’ for a boy from Michigan / You love your mom like every Midwest kid / You like driving to Texas / You put up with all my exes / To deserve you, don’t know what the hell I did,” Morris sang on the first verse of the song before Hurd joined her for the chorus.

Following their duet, Morris posted photos of her and Hurd on stage to her Instagram feed. “You’re so good lookin’ it kinda makes me sick,” she wrote, referencing a lyric from the song. “Got to debut ‘I Can’t Love You Anymore’ last night on the @cmt awards with my ride or die ✨,” she added.

Hurd also shared photos of he and Morris’ performance, writing a simple caption: “I Can’t Love You Anymore.” Hurd later tagged Morris, CMT, and photographer Kevin Mazur in the post.

Morris and Hurd’s performance of “I Can’t Love You Anymore” is not the first time the pair has sung a duet together.

The pair previously released “Chasing After You,” a track that appears on Hurd’s debut album, Pelago. The song went number one at country radio nine months after it was released.

Morris and Hurd shared the stage and performed “Chasing After You” at the 2021 ACM Awards.

“‘Chasing After You’ Live at The ACM Awards,” Hurd wrote, sharing a video of the performance on Instagram. “If I never get to do it again, I’m happy it was with you. Thank you @acmawards for the stage and @marenmorris for everything else. Check that one off the list 🙏🏼.”

 Off stage, the pair shares two-year-old son, Hayes.
