ACM Awards 2011: Carrie Underwood fends off Steven Tyler's advances during epic 'Walk This Way' duet
Whoa.For us, Carrie Underwood is almost always the highlight of any country music affair, so when she took the stage at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3, it seemed like the night was bound to peak just a bit too soon.
Then Steven Tyler strutted on stage, and it was official.
Tyler joined Underwood for the second half of her song "Undo It," before the two "American Idol" stars tackled the duet to end all duets: "Walk This Way."
The singing? Fantastic. The synchronized moves? Adorable. Tyler's persistent attempts to get a kiss from Underwood? Comedy gold.
Only Carrie Underwood could fend off the big-lipped-one's pleas for smooches in front of millions and not even break a sweat.

Can I just say...that was the HOTTEST thing that has EVER happend on an awards show.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Steven Tyler has STILL got it and Lord knows Carrie is...........
Mikey O'Connell you do realize that whole kiss thing was part of a very orchestrated performance right? With that being said this was a brilliant collaboration. Both of them sounded amazing and they looked incredible. I enjoyed that performance immensely.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I hope it's available on i-tunes.
that was a great performance, no doubt, but for a county awards show? why?
Carrie is a good, accomplished singer...but she sounds predominantly country (not Rock!) on EVERY song she sings. No thanks.
She's supposed to sound country. She's a country singer. A collaberation is about bringing yourself to something else, not becoming it. It was supposed to be a country/rock version of "Undo It" and "Walk This Way" - which it was. So, it was what it was supposed to be.
