ERNEST completely stunned the crowd in Anaheim when he took his massive Morgan Wallen collaboration and stripped it down to its roots.
The original studio version of “Cowgirls” was a global success with over 700 million streams. However many traditional fans were not happy with the heavy trap beats and rap-inspired production.
ERNEST decided to fix that during his latest tour stop. He removed every single electronic beat and turned the song into a gorgeous two-stepper that sounds like it belongs in a 1990s honky-tonk!
