Spencer, who appeared on Beyoncé's cover of “Blackbird,” sang with McCollum on stage at CMT Sunday night
Parker McCollum and Britney Spencer delivered the hard-hitting breakup anthem 'Burn It Down' on stage at the 2024 CMT Music Awards on Sunday.
The 'Compassion' singer appeared in an embellished red dress, while McCollum took to the stage in a fitted black T-shirt and hat as the pair performed against a backdrop of literal flames. Spencer's soaring vocals lifted the radio hit as the pair took on the smoldering chorus: “Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke/Burn it down to the Smolderin' caral/Burn it down 'til I don't want you more. ”
McCollum, who is in the middle of his 2024 Burn It Down tour, released the radio single last June as part of his fourth studio album, the 15-song It's never enough. The Texan scored two Billboard Country Airplay hits with 2020's “Pretty Heart” and the following year's “To Be Loved By You” — the latter of which appeared on his debut LP Gold cowboy chain and won Breakthrough Video of the Year at the 2022 CMT Music Awards.
Meanwhile, Spencer made history along with other guest appearances on Beyoncé's recent release Cowboy Carterthe second act of the trilogy of albums that began with Renaissance. Spencer, who gained attention in 2021 when she covered Highwomen's track “Crowded Table,” was joined by up-and-coming black country singers Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts on “Blackbird” — Beyoncé's 1968 re-imagining of the Beatles song.
Spencer also memorably performed Martina McBride's “Independence Day” at the 2021 ACM Honors and joined Brothers Osborne to close out the 2022 Academy of Country Music Awards, both at the Grand Ole Opry. Her album My stupid life released earlier this year.
