The couple delivered their surprise duet Higher track at the 2024 ACM Awards
Chris Stapleton and Dua Lipa have officially released their duet “Think I'm In Love With You” from the 2024 ACM Awards.
The two musicians both confirmed the arrival of the live single social media Monday, May 20. The original performance took place just last week, when Lipa surprised the ACM audience by taking the stage solo and singing a few bars Higher track, before Stapleton, his band, and a 13-piece string section joined her on stage.
In one interview immediately after the performance, Lipa revealed that it was her idea to organize the show. “I'm such a fan of Chris and I just reached out and said, 'Do you want to do something together?' And that's what came up,” he told Bobby Bones backstage at the show.
Stapleton shared a few more details in a follow-up interview with Entertainment Tonightnoting that while he and Lipa had discussed working together for some time, they came together to rehearse the show a few days before the screening.
“I think it got into the mix,” Stapleton said. “We got on the phone and talked about it and worked on it a little bit. We really put together what we did two days ago… It was a bit of a whirlwind – but it was awesome.”
Stapleton released Higher last summer, and has a busy spring and summer lined up with tour dates across North America. This leg of the trek is set to wrap up in early October with a headlining set at Austin City Limits, after which it's on to the UK and Ireland for a few shows, followed by a tour of Australia and New Zealand in early 2025.
As for Lipa, the recent one Rolling rock The cover star just released her third album, Radical Optimismwhich follows in 2020 Future Nostalgia. He'll spend much of the summer playing festival gigs across Europe, but he has one US date on the books: Austin City Limits, where he might reunite with Stapelton for another surprise duet.
