Monica has officially entered into the world of country, as she stunned in an edgy ensemble at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville Monday night.

Monica teamed up with Jimmie Allen and Little Big Town for the first televised performance of “Pray”, lifted from Jimmie Allen’s Bettie James Gold Edition project, released last year.

It’s not the first time that Monica has flirted with the country music genre. She has previously teased a foray into the country music scene, teasing a collaboration with Brandi Carlile. She also teamed up with Dolly Parton for the “Pink” song which also features Jordin Sparks, Rita Wilson and Sara Evans.
