VIDEO: Rapper Ludacris, Country star Jason Aldean perform together

First it was Tim McGraw and Nelly, then it was Taylor Swift and T Pain, and now it’s Jason Aldean and Ludacris. The separate worlds of hip hop and country collided Wednesday night at the annual CMT Awards.

What started at as a subdued performance of his hit single “Dirt Road Anthem,” Aldean broke out into a country rap. But the surprise came moments later when Ludacris dropped some rhymes for the crowd. Ending the performance with “History has been made bay-bee!”

Watch video of the performance below. What do you think? Do the two worlds go together?
