Kane Brown took a brief break from his co-hosting duties to take fans Downtown for a performance of “One Mississippi” during the 2022 CMT Music Awards on Monday, April 11.
Brown launched into his performance of the chart-topping single as he exited a black car, which appears to be the same car that is in the music video and single art for “One Mississippi.”
The performance, which took place in front of Schermerhorn Symphony Center, found Brown performing the hit song on an outdoor stage, just across the street from The Country Music Hall Of Fame And Museum in the heart of Nashville.
Brown, wearing a brown leather vest and a beige hat from his Family collection, led a massive sing-along during the track’s chorus, where the entire crowd belted out the lyrics to the anthemic tune.
“One Mississippi, two Mississippi / Three shots of whiskey / Are you on your way? / We’re tipsy, baby, come kiss me / I can’t wait, I can’t wait / Mississippi, two Mississippi / Three in the mornin’ / We’ll be on our way / So tipsy, can’t stop kissin’ / I can’t wait, I can’t wait / Forever,” Brown sings on the chorus.
