WATCH: Kelsea Ballerini Joins Forces With Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce For Sassy Performance Of ‘You’re Drunk, Go Home’

Country superstars Kelsea Ballerini and Carly Pearce dazzled the CMA Awards stage with their performance of the sassy track, “You’re Drunk, Go Home” alongside pop icon Kelly Clarkson.

Ballerini started the performance solo before she was joined on stage by Clarkson and Pearce – all three ladies dawning different shades of denim and blue dresses.

The female power track was released on Ballerini’s new record, Subject To Change. Co-penned by Ballerini, Julian Bunetta, and Shane McAnally, “You’re Drunk, Go Home” won the hearts of fans all over with its brutally honest lyrics and catchy melody.

During Ballerini’s recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the pair recalled recording the song.

“I asked Kelly to be a part of my song in the morning and she went to the studio that night and did vocals,” Ballerini shared.

Without saying too much, Clarkson shared a few details about the night, including the fact that she had already been “celebrating” when she went into the studio to lay down her vocals.

“I had already been celebrating that it was my last day of work,” she went on to say. “So I get to the studio, here, at this studio with Jason and I get in there and I’m like, ‘look, I didn’t know I was gonna be singing today.’ So I had to sing a song called, ‘You’re Drunk, Go Home,’ inebriated, trying to sing for soprano parts like I’m fine.”

The 56th Annual CMA Awards featured performances from Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Cody Johnson, and Carly Pearce.

The show opened with an all-star tribute to the late Loretta Lynn from Underwood, Reba McEntire and Lambert.
