Jennifer Nettles and Jennifer Lopez Team Up for Duet in Nettles’ New Album

Jennifer Nettles post Sugarland solo album is racking up some big names both inside and outside of Nashville and Elton John makes a stop on ABC’s Nashville.

FOX’s Michelle Pollino presents “FOX Country”:

I’m Michele Pollino.

‘Playing With Fire’ is Jennifer Nettles‘ second solo effort, it’ll be out May 13, and not only will it have some major Nashville players like Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, but she also pulled in some Hollywood power.

Nettles posted a cheek to cheek picture with Jennifer Lopez in an Instagram writing underneath, “great afternoon with this amazing artist.” Nettles told Rare Country the two powerhouses wrote a song together, a “collaborative duet,” saying, “I think it sends a good message and is tons of fun.”

Move over Scarlett… Gunnar’s got a new partner on ABC’s Nashville and he’s a bit of a big deal. Elton John will appear as himself in the May 18 episode.

He and lyricist Bernie Taupin have penned a handful of country songs he joined Tammy Wynette on her album ‘Without Walls’, where John once joked that the duet brought together “the queen of country and the queen of England.” Nashville airs Wednesday’s at 10 p.m. on ABC.

That’s FOX Country on FOX News.
