Two Country Giants. One Unforgettable Moment.
The 2025 CMA Awards had its fair share of star power, but one performance left the entire country music world stunned — and streaming. Jelly Roll and Keith Urban took the stage for a surprise duet that no one saw coming… and no one will forget.
Performing “Don’t Want To” — a standout track from Jelly Roll’s chart-topping new album Beautifully Broken — the two icons brought down the house with grit, soul, and stories only they could tell.
A Song That Cuts Deep
Drawing from their personal struggles with addiction and healing, “Don’t Want To” became more than a ballad — it was a confession. A vow. A lifeline.
“And just ’cause I ain’t reaching for the bottle / And I ain’t got a smoke between my lips / Don’t mean I don’t want to…”
The lyrics hit hard, especially knowing the pasts behind the voices. Jelly Roll, 39, has been outspoken about his battle with addiction and incarceration. Keith Urban, too, has long been candid about his struggles with alcohol and cocaine. Their harmonies weren’t just musical — they were earned.
Fan Reactions: “I’ve Got Chills”
Within hours, the video of their Amazon Live CMA performance began trending across YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook. As of this writing, it’s crossed 3 million views in just 48 hours.
“Great music, PERIOD!”
“My favorite and my mom’s favorite just collabed?! Unreal.”
“I cried. I healed. I replayed it 10 times.”
“When Keith hits that solo? Goosebumps every time.”
A Dream Years in the Making
Urban later shared a heartfelt post on social media, celebrating the collab with pure gratitude:
“The song might be called ‘Don’t Want To’ — but I’ve wanted to work with this guy for a long time. My man, I love playing with ya, love singing with ya, and am just damn grateful to be on this ‘same journey’ with you. You know exactly what I mean.”
Jelly Roll’s Country Reign Continues
Since his breakout 2023 album Whitsitt Chapel, Jelly Roll has racked up a Grammy nod, three CMT Awards, and a legion of new fans. Beautifully Broken, released October 11, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has only continued to dominate.
The deluxe edition of the record features collaborations with Halsey, ERNEST, and Urban — further cementing Jelly Roll’s place as the bridge between grit and grace in modern country.
