Carrie Underwood and NEEDTOBREATHE brought down the house at the 2021 CMT Music Awards.
At the Wednesday night award show, the former "American Idol" champ, 38, teamed up with the rock band to perform their song "I Wanna Remember."
For the performance, Underwood dazzled in a sequined pantsuit complete with a large, black belt and matching shoes.
