Keith Urban Joins Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X at CMA Fest
Keith Urban surprised the CMA crowd on Saturday night by showing up to play “Old Town Road” along with Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X on Saturday night’s (6/8) stadium show playing his famous Ganjo.
Last night (6/9) before he took the stage, he told us about his adoration for “Old Town Road”: “I just loved the song when I heard it. I just loved it and wanted to do my little cover version of it on my Ganjo and from that very spontaneous moment Nas saw the piece that I did and really loved it apparently, and next thing I know I’m playing with him last night 6/8).”
