Niall Horan added a touch of pop to the Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night.
The singer, whose solo album Flicker debuted at No. 1, was in Nashville to perform “Seeing Blind,” his collaboration with Maren Morris, on the show.
Horan said it was the first time they’ve performed the song together.
“We will be nervous,” Horan told reporters on the red carpet. “It’s going to be great fun.”
The performance began with Morris singing part of her hit “I Could Use a Love Song" before being joined by Horan for "Seeing Blind."

Horan and Morris will hit the road together next year, including a stop in Toronto.
