George Strait and Alan Jackson will perform together on tonight’s CMA Awards to celebrate the 50th Anniversary. The two have been friends for more than 20 years and have collaborated on the CMA Awards previously. The two teamed up in 1999 to perform “Murder on Music Row,” which happened to win an award for Vocal Event of the Year in 2000. And again in 2013 to pay tribute to the late George Jones by performing his song “He Stopped Loving Her Today.”

“Well Alan has been one of my favorite people that I’ve met in the business since I’ve been in it. I’ve met a lot of great people and Alan and I have become friends. We just have. I love his writing, his singing and we cut some things together before. And so when all of this came about I called him and we talked about it and had our little heart to heart about everything. And so this is kind of what came out of it.”
