Brad Paisley Facetimes Carrie Underwood At 2017 Concert For ‘Remind Me’ Duet
Country music star Brad Paisley treated his London audience to a riveting performance of his duet “Remind Me,” finding an alternative route to bring an absent Carrie Underwood to his fans.
Performing at the 2017 C2C (Country to Country) Festival, Brad Paisley kicked off his intro to the ballad without Underwood by his side. But even though Carrie Underwood wasn’t physically there, Paisley surprised fans by including her in the performance, thanks to technology.
A Facetime video appeared on the large screen behind Paisley, revealing a dolled-up Underwood just in time for her chorus! That audience roared with cheers and applause as the blonde bombshell sang alongside Paisley, making her musical appearance despite being thousands of miles away!
As the performance wrapped up, Paisley thanked the singer for her time, to which she hilariously responded, “Thank you! I wish I could be there! But this is better because I don’t actually have to be with Brad!” After their comical banter, Underwood wished the singer and his audience a great night before signing off!

Paisley included “Remind Me” on his 2011 album This Is Country Music.
The music video for the duet, which Paisley co-wrote, debuted on CMT on July 26, 2011.
The song was nominated for Vocal Collaboration of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards, and took home an American Country Award and a CMT Award for Collaborative Music Video of the Year.
This duet came three years after they began hosting the CMA Awards together, which they did for ten years from 2008-2010.
“Remind Me” hit number one on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart and the Canada Country chart. It peaked at number 17 on the Hot 100 chart and is certified 2x Platinum.
