Prior to CMT’s Artist of the Year Awards, Chris Stapleton Teamed Up With Jimmy Fallon to Pay Tribute to Nancy Meyers Films
Just before taking the stage at the CMT 2021 Artist of the Year Awards, Chris Stapleton joined force with late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon. They performed a special tribute for Nancy Meyers films. In the hilarious skit, the CMT Artist of the Year recipient sang, “Big windows; strong women; scarves cashmere; and the pants are linen.”
Stapleton and Fallon declared, “When I need a little heart and I want to be inspired. I get cozy on the couch and watch a film by Nancy Meyers.”
Nancy Meyers apparently enjoyed the hilarious skit. She took to Twitter and wrote, “What a surprise! So sweet and funny! Thank you @JimmyFallon and @ChrisStapleton.”
Along with the skit, Stapleton also performed You Should Probably Leave with Fallon.
