Watch Maren Morris Sing an Impressive, Impromptu Duet on the National Anthem With Stephen Colbert

Maren Morris and Stephen Colbert sang an impromptu version of the National Anthem on Tuesday night's (April 9) 'Late Show'; watch the video.

Considering the 34-year-old has been performing since she was 10, Morris said she has definitely had a “few weirdo ones,” including a number of chili cook-off shows and a weekly Saturday gig during high school singing the National Anthem at amateur wrestling bouts for $100 a shot. With some gentle acoustic guitar accompaniment from the house band, the pair made it to the end impressively as Morris asked in wonder, “Where did that come from?” Colbert loved it so much he proposed that they do it again at an amateur wrestling match some day, suggesting they could split the $100 fee. South Carolina-bred Colbert also couldn’t resist talking Southern cuisine with Texas-born Morris, asking the singer if she misses the tastes and smells of home after living in Nashville for 11 years.
