The duo sang Lambert's "Kerosene" and Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi."
Lambert introduced Lavigne to the crowd, referring to her as her new bestie. Both artists wore black outfits with pink accents as they rocked the stage.
They also performed "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)" with Elle King and their duet "If You Were Mine" with Leon Bridges. CMA Fest, celebrating its 50th anniversary, featured many other country music stars across various venues in Nashville.
