The singer-songwriter duo appeared on stage together at The Bluebird Café, an iconic Nashville venue, on Friday night to perform an intimate, stripped-down arrangement of one of Crow’s biggest hits, “If It Makes You Happy."
Rodrigo, 20, documented the special evening with an Instagram post, sharing a silly photo of herself and Crow, 61, posing together in salon chairs while holding magazines.
In the next slide, the Sour songstress shared a video of the stunning duet, which was backed only by Crow on acoustic guitar.
The duo captivated the crowd while sitting side-by-side on stools on the venue's small stage.
“Pinch me!” the pop-punk musician captioned the post. “Sang one of my favorite songs of all time with the greatest of all time @sherylcrow !!!! what an honor!!!!”
The “Real Gone” singer, in turn, shared the post on her own Instagram Story, where she commended Rodrigo, writing, “She is just really good, y’all!”

“What a talent!!” she added. “And the loveliest young woman!”

The last time Crow and Rodrigo appeared on stage together, it was in front of a much bigger crowd.
In March 2022, the legendary singer-songwriter presented the Disney Channel alum with the Woman of the Year award at Billboard's Women in Music event.
On the red carpet, Crow — who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November — expressed her excitement about the moment to PEOPLE.
"I am happy to celebrate her," the singer said of Rodrigo. "I think she's gonna be around a long time. She deserves to be where she is celebrating this moment."
Crow also shared a piece of advice for the star, who was just 19 at the time.
"I just wanna tell her, enjoy it. Just enjoy it. ‘Cause sometimes you get so swept up [on] ‘What am I gonna do next? What [do] I do next?’ And you forget to savor these little moments," she told PEOPLE.
Prior to the show, the star shared that she had yet to meet Rodrigo in person — but confirmed that she was a fan.
"We sing her songs on the way to school and on the way back from school," Crow said of her sons Levi, 13, and Wyatt, 16.
"In fact, we're playing pool the other night, [Levi] was singing 'Good 4 U,' " she said. "He's pretty good. But you know what? He's more into the NFL and NBA. Sorry, Olivia."
On the carpet ahead of the show, Rodrigo told PEOPLE that — just like her Nashville duet with Crow — receiving the award was a huge "pinch me moment."
"I think anytime that I actually get to meet someone who my songs have affected, it's always really cool to me," she said at the time. "Sometimes the girls will come up to me like, 'Oh my gosh, your song's really helped me through a hard time.' And there's nothing more special than that."
