Ashley McBryde honored Kris Kristofferson at the 2024 CMA Awards, one of the stand-out moments of the night.

She stood alone and sang a heartfelt rendition of “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” a No. 1 song for Sammi Smith in 1970 that Kristofferson wrote.

Ahead of the show, Ashely McBryde admitted she was nervous.

“Especially in a room full of people who do what you do for a living,” she shared.

“They are going to know if you did it wrong,” she added.

On Instagram ahead of the show she reminisced about how her dad taught her how to play Kris Kristofferson’s songs on the guitar when she was a young girl.

Ashley’s voice soared like an angel as she fought off the nerves in her touching tribute.
