Thomas Rhett and Teddy Swims perform a medley at the 2024 CMA Awards

Thomas Rhett and Teddy Swims certainly know how to captivate an audience.

The country singer and Swims took the stage at the 2024 CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 20, for a soulful medley of their new collaboration ‘Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman’ and Swims’ No. 1 hit ‘Lose Control’.

The artists took the stage in all-black outfits and brought the energy as they blended the two hits together.

“Make your heart beat / Make you sweat, make you dream,” the duo sang together on “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman.” “Lose your mind, lose your sleep/Push me, do things I thought I couldn’t do/Ah, there’s just something about a woman.”

Thomas Rhett, 34, first released a solo version of the song on his latest album in August About a womanand released a new version with Swims, 32, on November 15.

“This collaboration is something I have wanted to do for a while,” Thomas Rhett previously said in a press release. “Teddy and I first met through our producer Julian Bunetta in 2020 and it was almost instant musical chemistry… I’ve been wanting to release something with him again ever since, and his voice on this song is insane.”

Swims added: “I’ve been waiting for this song with Thomas Rhett to be released for a while!! He’s been in my corner since day one, so when he called me to join him on ‘Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman’, it was a no brainer. It’s an honor to join him on this song;

The “Die a Happy Man” singer and the “Bed on Fire” artist first joined forces in 2020 for “Broke.” They also co-wrote Thomas Rhett’s 2023 song “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings).”

Hours before their performance, Thomas Rhett and Swims shared a crazy video of them dancing and jamming to the collaboration on Instagram.

“There’s only one thing that makes me do this kind of dance… See you tonight @cma #CMAawards,” the “Beautiful as You” singer captioned the post.

The 58th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on ABC on Wednesday, November 20 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The show will stream on Hulu the next day.
