Best of Chris Stapleton Performances at CMT Artists of the Year

[@ferminbuenrostro8181]

What a performance with his wife!!!!

[@cece8095]

He stands a little taller & more confidently on stage when she’s with him. And she looks at him with adoration and respect. That’s love. 🤍

I've seen that before in other couples. It's the real deal.

We watched them at Little Rock. The whole concert felt like you were watching him singing to his wife . Like it was just him and her. It was amazing. Everyone needs to see them at least once.

Morgane doesn't get nearly enough recognition, her harmonies are flawless and you can tell by how she watched him how much she loves him and what he's created.

She’s actually a very successful song writer in Nashville. Look up all the songs she has written.
