Post Malone and Reba McEntire were the dynamic duo we didn’t know we needed at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards, stealing the show and bringing the house down with a surprise collaboration.

The pair joined forces to pay tribute to the late Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band with a moving performance of the group’s 1973 classic, “Ramblin’ Man.”

It was Reba who joined Post on stage after the latter finished his own solo performance of “I Had Some Help” and a previously unheard track, “Never Love You Again.” Though Morgan Wallen is featured on the recording of “Help,” he did not participate in Thursday’s live performance.

Reba, who served as the show’s master of ceremonies for a record-breaking 17th time, approached the “Circles” singer for a quick duet.

“We recently lost Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers Band,” Reba said from the stage.

“And if you would,” she said to Post, “let’s sing a little bit of ‘Ramblin’ Man,’ OK?”

The 28-year-old singer gamely replied, “I don’t see why not.”

Reba then asked him to play a quick G-chord before she launched into a stunning a cappella rendition of the tune.

The duo took turns on the first few lines before coming together in harmony on the chorus. In the end, Post offered a sweet shout-out to his mom.

Reba later shut it down with a powerhouse, pyrotechnic-filled performance of her own latest single, “I Can’t,” at the end of the show. It was also announced that she’ll be back to host the ACM Awards again next year.

The 59th annual Academy of Country Music Awards streamed live May 16 on Prime Video. Check out all the nominees and the full winners list.
