Last month Dan + Shay made it official, releasing their cover of Taylor Swift's "Back To December" after video of the duo performing the song in soundcheck went viral. Now, backstage at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, they are taking requests for what's next.

Katie Neal was quick to suggest something from Wicked, which launched Dan into full fandom immediately. "I watched the movie. I'm so cheap, I rented it for like 19.99 when it came out. I watched it at least 8 times in the 48 hour window."
Shay meanwhile has yet to experience the wonder of Wicked, but he has an excuse, maybe. "I got 4 kids. I was too busy watching 'Zootopia 2.'"
"I just had to keep getting the reps in because I was like, I spent money on this, I'm gonna watch," adds Dan. "It was amazing though."
