LEANN TOOK THE AUDIENCE BACK IN TIME
Rimes wore a long sequined dress as she took the stage, which had a huge portrait of Cline as a background. The black and white filter and vintage microphone sent the viewers back in time to Cline’s days.
REACTIONS TO THE PERFORMANCE
After the video of Rimes’s performance, country music fans had the opportunity to share their thoughts about the magical night.
“No one can sing better than Leann. She probably has the best voice in the business. All genres,” wrote user “Uncle Go-rilla.” “Few can pull off Patsy Cline songs. LeAnn Rimes can,” added “jerlan23.”
Singer Trace Adkins, the awards ceremony co-host for that night, also expressed his positive impression with Rimes’s performance. He said:
“I just want to say it takes one great singer to take a Patsy Cline song and LeAnn Rimes just reminded us she is one great singer. I take my hat off to her.”
RECENT NEWS ABOUT LEANN RIMES
Back in June, Rimes performed at The Abby Hotel in West Hollywood, California, donning a glamorous look as she marked the beginning of the Gay Pride Month.
She stunned the audience with her talent and slim figure.
Rimes showed signs that she might finally be ready to end a feud of years with “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Brandi Glanville, with the two posing for a selfie together.
Rimes is married to Eddie Cibrian, who is Glanville’s ex-husband. Glanville and Cibrian’s marriage ended abruptly when the latter’s affair with the “How Do I Live” singer in 2009 went public.
Now, the two seem to have finally buried the hatchet.
