Kelsea Ballerini covered the timeless classic, “You’ve Got a Friend,” on CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special on June 3.

The two-hour special featured tributes and performances as a number of stars perform from their own homes. The show highlighted stories of unsung heroes who have done exceptional things for their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Penned and recorded by Carole King in 1971, “You’ve Got a Friend” was also recorded by James Taylor in 1971. Taylor scored a No. 1 hit with the tune, earning a Grammy for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance, while King won the Grammy for Song of the Year
