Shakira and Blake Shelton gave viewers a taste of \"Medicine,\" their new duet, at the ACM Awards on Sunday. <\/p>\n
Rocking a lipstick-red dress showing just enough of those famous hips, Shakira squared off with the country superstar for a spirited version of the pounding anthem. They ended the performance with a huge smile and a hug. <\/p>\n
The duet comes following the Latin superstar's yearning to go a little country, having approached Shelton after the two worked together on \"The Voice.\" <\/p>\n
\"I told him I wanted to work with Nashville people,\" Shakira told Billboard last month. \"I was a little tired of L.A. I wanted people with another point of view, real people with roots with whom I feel comfortable working in the same room. And I told Blake I wanted to do a song that had the narrative of a country song, that was picturesque, that was a real song. But it also needed to suit me, because after all, I'm Colombian.\" <\/p>\n
\"Medicine\" hit No. 57 on the Country Airplay chart after the release of her self-titled album in late March, netting her first entry on a country chart. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it's Shelton's 35th entry on the chart, having also hit No. 1 recently with \"Doin' What She Likes,\" his 16th chart-topper. <\/p>\n
