It was a Beyoncé takeover at the 2016 Country Music Awards as the singer wowed audiences with a special performance with the Dixie Chicks.

The singer, adorned in a white sheer gown, joined the girl band to perform her song “Daddy Lessons,” which is a nod to country music and her hometown of Houston, Texas. Beyoncé also sang a bit of the Dixie Chick’s song “Long Time Gone.”
