Artist-songwriter Elle King headlines the launch of CMT’s new digital series, CMT Live. The new performance series debuts today, Thursday, Nov. 7 at 4 pm CT across CMT’s social platforms.
The kick-off episode will celebrate the return of the epic series Yellowstone, which premieres Nov. 10. King’s set includes her song “Ain’t Gonna Drown,” featured in season three of the highly acclaimed Western drama.
“I was so honored to be asked to do the premiere episode of CMT Live to celebrate the return of Yellowstone,” said King. “I got to strip back a few of my favorites, including “Ain’t Gonna Drown,” which was featured on the show a few seasons back. And to get to shoot it at the American Legion Post 82 in East Nashville was like a homecoming since I did my album release show and shot the video for ‘Drunk’ there.”
The show also includes “High Road,” King’s new song about exploring life's contradictions, choices and the hazy journey to self-realization. Of the song, Music Row Magazine said, “This performance sets her in stone as a country artist. Country, country, country and cool.”
King is closing out the year with her Baby Daddy’s Weekend Tour which includes rising Warner Music Nashville duo, The Band Loula.
