In a surprise that had fans buzzing with anticipation, Keith Urban and Jelly Roll teamed up for an electrifying performance of “Liar” at the 2024 CMA Awards — and it was everything fans hoped for.
The collaboration, announced just hours before showtime via Instagram, brought the heat with Urban shredding an intense guitar solo while Jelly Roll poured raw emotion into every lyric. The stage lit up like a country-rock inferno as the two artists fed off each other’s energy, transforming the CMA stage into a full-blown arena show.
“Liar” is featured on Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken, the breakout album that earned the artist his first-ever No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. The record also includes “Don’t Want To”, another powerful duet with Urban that showcases their undeniable musical chemistry.
The two artists have a deep mutual respect and friendship off-stage as well. Back in October, Urban congratulated Jelly Roll on his album’s success with a heartfelt post:
“My man – I love playing with ya, love singing with ya, and am just damn grateful to be on this ‘same journey’ with you.”
That connection was front and center during the CMA Awards performance — a moment that will no doubt go down as one of the show’s most unforgettable.
From the roaring crowd to the emotional high notes, Jelly Roll and Keith Urban proved they’re a duo fans didn’t know they needed — but now won’t want to live without.
