Kane Brown teamed up with Blake Shelton to deliver the live debut of their duet, “Different Man,” during the live finale of The Voice Season 22.
Their performance featured eye-catching elements such as pyro and was a highlight of the star-studded finale, which also featured performances from BRELAND, Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, and more.

Brown kicked off the performance as he entered from behind the stage. Sporting jeans, white sneakers and a black button-up, the superstar put his baritone vocals on full display as he sang, “But what if I was made for the stage What if I was made for the lights What if I was chosen to write the stories/ Wasn’t built to work the line Oh, what if I was different / Would I wanna be different…”
Moments before Shelton joined him on stage, Brown got the audience fired up with a few fist bumps.
Shelton then appeared on the opposite side of the stage. He arose from a sitting potion and made his way to Brown as he sang the second verse.
Fans praised the pair’s unique collaboration following the show.
“Never would have thought of this pairing……..they have to do more music together! Amazing,” complimented one YouTube user, while another shared, “Fantastic! I’d love to hear more with these two.”
This marked Brown and Shelton’s first-ever performance of the song, which serves as the title track off Brown’s latest album.
“I feel like I’m a great A&R and so I was listening to the song over and over and over and trying to figure out, like, somebody can be on this song. And Blake was the first person that popped into my head,” he shared during an interview with Kelleigh Bannen on Today’s Country Radio. “So I sent it to him and then within 30 minutes he texted me back and said he’s on it. So that was just a crossing my fingers, hoping he could find time to record it.”
Ultimately, it all worked out and Shelton recorded the song. It was released in September when Brown’s album dropped.
The country stars have a history together as Brown has often covered Shelton’s hit “Ole Red” during his live shows. In 2020, Shelton enlisted Brown as a mentor for Team Blake on The Voice.

Having the opportunity to serve as the Battle Round mentor on Season 19 of the singing competition show turned out to be a dream come true for Brown.
“My dream — and nobody knows this — was to always try out for The Voice and be on Blake Shelton’s team,” Brown previously told ET. “I’m just so grateful to be here.”

The lights went down. The crowd hushed. Reba McEntire stood alone on the ACM stage—still, quiet, strong. She didn’t sing right away. Her voice caught a bit as she looked out, then she said, “This is for anyone who’s ever been called a country bumpkin… ever been laughed at just for being real.” Then came the first twang of “Okie from Muskogee.” The room went still. No noise, no movement—just Reba, singing for every small-town soul who never felt seen. It wasn’t just a song. It was a moment. For every grandpa in overalls, every hard-working mama, every kid who never fit in—it was theirs. No glitter. No flash. Just truth. As the chorus rose, so did hands and tears. Reba didn’t just start the show—she lit a fire in people’s hearts. For a few minutes, it wasn’t an awards show. It was a homecoming.
The 60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards opened with a performance that immediately set the tone for the night — not…
