In November 2019, Dan + Shay brought their heartfelt song "Speechless" to the 2019 CMA Awards in the most expressive design conceivable which was coordinating high contrast tuxedos and a full symphony. The country music pair put Shay Mooney's incredible vocals and Dan Smyers' consistent harmonies in the spotlight as they sat next to each other at the focal point of the stage, with Mooney donning a white suit coat and Smyers in dark. They took their incredible performance up a score with a full ensemble, making the energetic love tune considerably increasingly sentimental. Their performance was one of the biggest highlights of the night.
