The 36-year-old singer posted a video of herself dancing on a tarmac, hinting at the surprise collaboration. In her caption, she expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming performance and urged her followers to tune in to the CMT Artist of the Year Awards to catch the show. It looks like Ciara is switching things up and going country!
Ciara, aged 36, surprised her fans on Instagram with the announcement that she will be taking the stage with Walker Hayes at the upcoming Country Music Awards, which will be broadcasted on CMT this coming Friday.
She is set to collaborate with Hayes, as seen at the NSAI’s 2022 Nashville Songwriter Awards in September at Ryman Auditorium. Known for her array of contemporary R&B hits, dating back to her debut album “Goodies” in 2004, this latest partnership may mark a new chapter in her successful career. The singer, who recently moved to Colorado with her husband Russell Wilson, has shown interest in exploring country music following their relocation to the Centennial State. Perhaps this change of scenery has sparked a newfound passion for the genre in the 1,2 Step singer.
R&B star Ciara, known for hits like “Level Up,” recently shared a video on social media where she can be seen dancing in a Denver Broncos jacket, leather pants, and cowboy boots. The singer, who is married to Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, hinted at going country in the caption of the post.
In an interview with People magazine in July, Ciara expressed her love for Denver, describing it as incredible and revealing her plans to become more outdoorsy. However, she also shared some humorous encounters with nature, including facing a snake and dealing with geese on her lawn.
Despite these challenges, the surroundings of her new city have inspired Ciara creatively. The singer, who shares two children with Wilson and has another son from a previous relationship, revealed that being in Denver has sparked her inspiration.
Ciara and Wilson, who tied the knot in 2016, met at a basketball game in Wisconsin and embarked on a romantic journey that has led to a happy family life. Wilson, a former Seattle Seahawk, shared on Instagram Live that he was instantly drawn to Ciara from their very first dinner date.
The latest Queen of Denver: With her recent relocation to Colorado alongside her football star husband, the 1,2 Step singer seems to have developed a new interest in country music, showing a growing affection for the genre.
Ciara, a multi-talented star known for her captivating stage performances, impressive dance skills, and angelic soprano voice, has often credited the legendary Michael Jackson as her biggest inspiration.
The upcoming performance will feature the talented Ciara, a two-time BET Award winner, alongside country pop singer Walker Hayes. With three studio albums under his belt, including the recent release Country Stuff, which debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200, Walker is gearing up for what promises to be a remarkable collaboration.
Known for her dynamic stage presence, impressive dance skills, and captivating soprano vocals, Ciara draws inspiration from the legendary Michael Jackson. In a touching tribute special, she expressed her deep admiration for the King of Pop, describing him as her ultimate inspiration.
Describing Michael Jackson as her ultimate idol, Ciara noted, “He’s everything to me.” Teaming up with Walker Hayes for this performance, the R&B powerhouse is poised to deliver a show-stopping performance on the prestigious stage of one of country music’s most significant events. Fans can catch the electrifying performance on CMT on Friday, October 14.
