Throwing It Back To Lady A’s 2021 CMT Music Awards Performance With Carly Pearce & Lindsay Ell
The CMT Music Awards are known for its show-stopping collaborations. In the past, the awards took place during the week of CMA Fest. That meant all of country music’s hottest artists were together in Nashville simultaneously.
Even though CMA Fest was canceled in 2021, the CMT Music Awards were still able to occur…with no shortage of collaborations!
One mega collaboration featured Lady A, Carly Pearce, and Lindsay Ell.
In case you didn’t know…Ell broke her foot just a few days before the CMT Music Awards. So you have to give her mad props for getting up on stage to perform!

Gabby Barrett was originally scheduled to perform with Lady A, Pearce, and Ell. But two days before the Awards, she announced on social media she’d be unable to join them.
“I’m really sad to share that because of personal circumstances I won’t be able to perform with @ladya and @carlypearce on Wednesday at the @cmt Music Awards!” Barrett wrote alongside a photo of her performing at the 2020 CMT Music Awards. “I’ll be rooting for you guys and all of the incredibly talented nominees and performers!“

Lady A & Friends Opened The Ceremony With “Like A Lady”
Even though Barrett was surely missed, Lady A, Pearce, and Ell still put on a memorable performance. The group sang Lady A’s then-current single, “Like a Lady.”
They were tasked with opening the show and set a fun tone for the night. Once again, we seriously credit Ell for rocking it out on stage with a broken foot!
This is one performance you absolutely can’t miss. Check it out by visiting CMT’s website here.
