Niall Horan surprised fans in Nashville by joining Thomas Rhett onstage for a performance of Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas.
During the shared portion of the show, the two singers also performed One Direction’s Steal My Girl, Horan’s solo single Heaven and Rhett’s Die a Happy Man. The song choices brought together material from both artists’ careers while giving the audience an unexpected pop-country collaboration.
The appearance also reflected an established connection between Horan and Rhett. The two have been friends for several years and previously worked together on Old Tricks, a song included on the deluxe edition of Rhett’s album About a Woman.
