A quiet but powerful moment on the All-American Road Show
Chris Stapleton may be one of country music’s most recognizable voices, but some of his most powerful moments on stage don’t come from his vocals. They come from singing to his wife, Morgane.
At a recent stop on his All-American Road Show Tour, Stapleton captivated the crowd while performing alongside the love of his life, and introducing her to the crowd, along with the rest of the band.
Watch the heartfelt performance here:

When he looked her way and sang the words:
“Baby, this is my lady. She also happens to be my wife”
“The stone cold love of my life”
You could feel the weight of it. A simple gesture, but one that said everything.
Fans were touched by the performance with comments saying:
“This was the best part.”
“He loves her so much.”
“This was truly magical last night”
Although this tender moment makes Chris and Morgane the center stage stars, Morgane has never chased fame. In fact, she’s spoken openly about how uncomfortable she feels in the spotlight, even as the wife and musical partner of one of country’s biggest stars. But her presence has always been key to Chris’s sound and career. In a 2020 New York Times profile, she reflected on how Chris helped her find confidence in herself, even if he never said it out loud.
“He definitely gave me a boost of ‘you can do this’ — not because he said it, but just because he was standing with me.”
Their musical and romantic partnership goes back nearly two decades. In an interview with Paste Magazine, Morgane shared that they met while working at the same record label. She would linger in a friend’s office just to catch a glimpse of Chris, recognizing his arrival by the jingle of the keys on his belt.
“He would wear his keys on his belt so it would jingle.”
Eventually, Chris asked her to co-write one morning at 6 a.m. It turned out to be more than just a songwriting session.
“We tried to write a song and then we ended up making out.”
That chemistry has carried through every stage of their life and career. In interviews, the way they look at each other says more than words can.
You can watch that full 2015 interview:
This kind of on-stage moment isn’t new for the Stapletons. Chris has made a habit of subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, spotlighting Morgane during his sets. This video from a previous performances show similar moments of affection during the band intros.
Not entirely sure if Chris just freestyles these moments, they’re always a little bit different:
