Queen Bey, 35, stunned in a sheer embellished gown with puff sleeves while the Dixie Chicks wore all black.

The performance marked the Houston native’s first-ever Country Music Association Awards gig. Last year, Justin Timberlake genre-hopped and performed “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Drink You Away” with Chris Stapleton.

The Dixie Chicks helped introduce Queen Bey to country music lovers, covering “Daddy Lessons” on their summer 2016 tour, but the Dream Girls actress first dipped her toe into Nashville waters when she released the twangy song off her Lemonade album in April.
