Katy Perry walks CMA Awards red carpet
Katy Perry walked the red carpet at the CMA Awards ahead of her performance with Thomas Rhett.
Katy Perry and Thomas Rhett wowed the crowd with their duet of "Where We Started" at the 2022 Country Music Association Awards.
Fans took to Twitter following Perry and Rhett's performance to praise the artists.
"Katy Perry and Thomas Rhett is the duo I didn’t know I needed," one user wrote.
"This Thomas Rhett and Katy Perry duet is a bop. It needs to be a single and pushed to country radio," another added.
The title track for Rhett's album released in April.

In January, the country music star spoke to People magazine about his collaboration with Perry.
"I don't think we were looking for a collaboration on this song," he recalled. "Allison Jones over at the label was like, ‘Do you care if I send this to Katy Perry’s team?'"
Rhett continued: "And I was like, 'Yeah, but I mean, they're not going to respond, but you can send it."

He noted that within 24 hours of receiving the song, Perry responded and was ready to work with him.
"She really put a lot of time and effort into this vocal and it's one of the best," Rhett shared. "I mean, she's an incredible singer, but this kind of reminded me of how amazing of a vocalist she is. I just felt like it really came to life."

The look was reminiscent of the all-denim outfit she wore to the Video Music Awards eight years ago.
