Katy Perry and Kacey Musgrave Collaborate for CMT’s ‘Crossroads’

CMT’s Crossroads has become a hit for the country-oriented network. The television series features country artists getting paired with artists from other genres and come together to perform. In the past the show has featured artists such as Fall Out Boy with The Band Perry, OneRepublic with Dierks Bentley, Stevie Nicks and Lady Antebellum and many more combinations.

The newest additions to the Crossroads family are Grammy-winner Kacey Musgraves and Katy Perry who have the honor of performing on the series’ 50th episode. Video from the two singers surface today which features a twangy version of Perry’s Fireworks” while they both collaborated on Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow.”

Apparently, timing isn’t Perry’s forte because the “Roar” singer rushed both songs at the beginning, even having to restart her own song twice. Like the soldier that she is, Perry jokes about feeling like a plastic bag because of that.

For those no familiar, Musgraves will be joining Perry during her upcoming Prismatic Tour for a month beginning on August 10 and will wrap up her trek on September 1. For now, both videos can been seen below while their full episode of Crossroads will air on June 13 at 10 P.M. ET on CMT.
