7 Country Music Collaborations You May Have Forgotten About

Country fans have long known Keith Urban isn’t afraid of having a pop sound in his music, so this 2020 collaboration about over-boozing it up with Pink was unsurprisingly an instant favorite.

Hip-hop and country together, say what? Rapper Nelly has admitted that the idea for this 2004 collaboration was a hard sell to his record label, but the two ultimately proved that merging the two genres could be a success.

This song was originally a solo track on Beyonc?’s highly acclaimed Lemonade album, and fans and critics alike immediately recognized it as a country song. A remix featuring fellow Texas-bred trio The Chicks was released in November 2016, after the artists joined forces to perform it together at the 2016 CMA Awards, which won “Collaboration of the Year.”

Once fans confirmed their suspicions that fellow Dan + Shay have always had a heartthrob boy band sound about them, so this 2019 collaboration with Justin Bieber was the perfect match for fans of that mood. The song ended up being the duo’s first top-10 hit in the U.S.
