Chrissy Metz just did something very few knew she could.
The “This Is Us” actress shocked the world when she took the stage at the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sunday night to perform “I’m Standing With You” with Carrie Underwood.
In her television debut as a singer, the 38-year-old “Breakthrough” star, draped in a blue satin-looking off-the-shoulder dress showcased her pipes during the performance, which Underwood described was in honor ACM Lifting Lives – a philanthropic extension of the Academy.
