Watch Peyton Manning Sing 'Tennessee Whiskey' with Chris Stapleton

Peyton Manning surprised country fans by teaming up with Chris Stapleton for a rather unexpected duet.

During Stapleton's show in Red Rocks, N.M., the country star brought out a very special guest. No, it's not a cute kid this time. Instead, famed former quarterback Peyton Manning made his way to the mic with plenty of cheers from the crowd.

But Peyton wasn't there to just give concertgoers a quick smile and a wave. Instead, he joined Stapleton for the chorus of "Tennessee Whiskey."

Watch a snippet of the performance below.

Now, this isn't the first time Manning has gotten behind the mic to perform with a country star. He previously sang tunes onstage with Dierks Bentley, Lee Brice and Cole Swindell.

But props to Manning for being able to stand his ground next to one of country's most powerful voices.
