Watch RaeLynn Sing ‘We Were Us’ With Keith Urban
RaeLynn had herself a "full circle moment" on Saturday night (Aug. 19): The rising country artist was invited to join Keith Urban onstage to perform "We Were Us."
Urban and RaeLynn were both performing at the Bi-Mart Willamette Country Music Festival, held annually at Reed Anderson Farm in Brownsville, Ore., on Saturday. Urban needed a duet partner for his song "We Were Us" -- which he originally sang with Miranda Lambert -- and RaeLynn was up for the task. Readers can press play above and below to watch snippets of their performance, which RaeLynn shared on Instagram.
"2006: I signed up for @keithurban monkeyville fan club. 2017: I sang #wewereus on stage in Oregon with him. GOD: your awesome and thank you [sic]," RaeLynn writes in the caption of one of her Instagram posts. On Twitter, Urban re-tweeted that video, commenting, "Thank YOU for sitting in with us. I loved it!!!! You got an open mic anytime."
Written by Nicolle Galyon, Jimmy Robbins and Jon Nite, “We Were Us” was originally released as a single in 2013, from Urban’s Fuse album. The song hit No. 1 on the country charts, has been certified platinum and earned Musical Event of the Year at the CMA Awards in 2014. Earlier this summer, Urban invited Lauren Alaina to sing the song with him at a show.
Urban is not officially on tour this summer, although he is playing a few shows here and there; he’s also back in the studio, working on new music. RaeLynn, meanwhile, is promoting "Lonely Call" as her latest single.
