Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan Serenade the 2024 ACM Awards with a Duet of 'Stick Season'

Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan rocked the crowd with two of their greatest hits at the 2024 ACM Awards.

Dressed in a gold nightgown and white boots over a black and white plaid shirt, Ballerini, 30, opened the show with a stunning rendition of her power ballad “Mountain with a View.”

The country music star was then joined by Kahan, 27, who wore a long-sleeved brown shirt and khaki pants to sing his folk-rock hit “Stick Season.” When he got to the chorus, Ballerini recited the lyrics alongside him.

Their duet follows Kahan’s first Grammy nominations, atop his first chart-topping singles — “Stick Season” and “Hurt Somebody.” Along the way, he also collaborated with Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves.

Looking ahead, the singer is currently working on new material and teased some unreleased tracks during a live performance.

“I just want to wait and feel very excited about whatever is next in terms of the album because before Stick seasonI felt like I was just playing music just to play it,” Kahan told PEOPLE at the 2023 TIME100 Gala. “When I made Stick seasonI had such a strong focus and I want to make sure I find that again.”
