It’s no surprise that country music fans were anticipating the TV special Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country, which was taped at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards weekend earlier this month and aired Friday night on CBS. However, it was a gospel song performed at the show that unexpectedly crossed all boundary lines and created a viral sensation over the weekend.
Carrie Underwood was just one of many huge names in the allstar lineup, but her duet with Vince Gill of the classic standard “How Great Thou Art” managed to bring down the entire house–and internet, at that. According to Yahoo! data, searches for Underwood’s rendition of the tune spiked a whopping 362% on Saturday.
