Carly Pearce gave Max McNown’s Red Bull Jukebox Nashville crowd a surprise to remember Saturday night, joining him onstage for the first-ever live performance of their new duet, “Not Falling Out.”

The crowd erupted when Pearce walked out at The Pinnacle, turning the performance into one of the night’s biggest moments. The two artists released the song just a couple of weeks ago, on October 23, but Saturday was the first time they performed it in front of a live audience.

There was a little extra anticipation behind the performance, too. Before the show, McNown told Men’s Journal that “Not Falling Out” was the one song in his set that made him nervous. Not “I’m going to forget the words” nervous, but “We don’t have any experience doing this live together” nervous.
