Their performance kicked off with a rendition of Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel." Other songs performed include "Whiskey Lullaby," "Ghost On the Stereo" and a cover of Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty’s song “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.”
“As long as the Opry keeps going, I have hope for country music and Nashville,” said Paisley during the performance, per ET Canada.

Referencing the space between herself and Paisley, 47, the 37-year-old Underwood joked: "This is like the river, 6ft apart, for the pandemic."
Because of the pandemic, performances at the opry have turned to the internet to reach audiences.
