We caught with ‘Can You Duet’ alums, Kate and Kacey Coppola to find out what they’ve been up since completing the show, how they ended up on the show in the first place, and more.

Kate and Kacey came in fourth place on CMT’s ‘Cant You Duet‘ and while they didn’t take away first prize, they are quickly gaining speed as country’s up and coming stars.

They will be on tour with Little Big Town this February and are definitely on the right track. They are signed with Big Machine Records, the same guys who have Taylor Swift and Trisha Yearwood on their list of stars.

We expect to see great thing from these girls.

Check out our interview with Kate and Kacey below:

How did you end up on ‘Can You Duet’? Kacey and I kept seeing the fliers for auditions all around Nashville, and we tried to ignore them! We never thought we wanted to do a TV show! But eventually, we had to face the facts that is was a show on CMT for Duos who sing Country Music…everything we are!!! We had to at least try!

Are you still in touch with any of the other contestants? YES!!! We see Joey and Rory a lot, and Caitlin and Will, Jared Johnson, David Oakleaf, Lewis Brice, and the host Rossi!!

What was your favorite part of ‘Can You Duet’? Our favorite part of CYD was getting to meet all the other AMAZING musicians…they have become such good friends, and we respect their talent so much! We had a blast hanging out with them!
