Sugarland revealed backstage at the ACM Awards how the collaboration came to be.
â[Taylor] was excited we were getting back together,â Jennifer says, âand reached out and said, âHey! I have a song.â And that is a short list, ladies and gentlemen, of people to whom she has said, âHey! I have a song. Want to sing it?â So we said, âYeah!ââ
