Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton CMA ‘Drink You Away’ Performance Blows Everyone Away [VIDEO]
Minutes after picking up the award for New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards, Chris Stapleton joined Justin Timberlake on stage for a performance that should have closed the show.
The two sang George Jones' 'Tennessee Whiskey' and Timberlake's 'Drink You Away,' blowing everyone away.

If Timberlake ever gets tired of making movies or wants to move from the pop world into the country, he's proved he's got a place.
