Backstreet’s back…with Florida Georgia Line, alright!

The country duo joined forces with the popular boy band for a performance of epic proportion as they harmonized throughout their hit, “God, Your Mama and Me,” at the 52nd Annual ACM Awards. From Nick Carter out on the B-stage in the audience to the bromance heard between each passionate verse, the collaboration between both groups definitely hyped up the show to the next level.

Rather than stop just at their one single together, the supergroup made the early 2000s cool again by playing the classic Backstreet Boys track, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” to a dancing crowd. Everyone from Carrie Underwood to Keith Urban to Tim McGraw got up out of their seat to high-five and sing along with the vintage pop jam. Shout out to Faith Hill for grooving alongside Nicole Kidman to give country and pop fans all the feels.

The guys of FGL even took the lead from the Backstreet Boys and broke out some cued-up choreography straight from the days when matching outfits were the cool things to wear together in bands.

Although Backstreet Boys currently have their residency in Las Vegas, they will soon be hitting the road with Florida Georgia Line for the Smooth Tour later this year. Hopefully, fans will get to see a bit more of those dance moves as the guys bond together on the road.
