Emerging country singer\u00a0Drake Milligan\u00a0shared a very special on-stage moment with\u00a0Blake Shelton\u00a0over the weekend.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, March 29, Milligan made his way to Fishers, IN to open for the superstar at the Fishers Event Center. He delivered his set as normal and believed that would be the end of his time on stage for the night. However, the \u201cTexas\u201d singer had other plans.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a new post, the former\u00a0America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u00a0contestant revealed that to his surprise, Shelton invited him up back on stage to help sing a rendition of the\u00a0George Strait\u00a0hit, \u201cAll My Ex\u2019s Live In Texas.\u201d While the song was released back in 1987, it remains a staple among country music lovers and is often covered during live performances much like this one.<\/p>\n

Shelton had his arm around Milligan and encouraged the crowd to sing along with the rising star\u2019s baritone vocals. Both artists had huge smiles on their faces as the twangy tune filled the room with a warm energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my exes live in Texas\/ And Texas is a place I\u2019d dearly love to be\/ But all my exes live in Texas\/ And that\u2019s why I hang my hat in Tennessee,\u201d they sang on the well-known chorus.<\/p>\n

Milligan later reflected on the once-in-a-lifetime experience and shared gratitude towards Shelton for giving him the chance to put his talent on display in front of his fans.<\/p>\n
