Mickey Guyton Once Sang For Prince

CMT has a digital series called “Probably Shouldn’t Tell You This”, where country stars share stories you may have never heard before from them.

The latest one has Mickey Guyton talking about the time she and some friends were partying in Hollywood and needed a ride home.

One of the friends was dating Prince, so she called him, and he showed up in a limo and took them to his mansion.

And it was exactly the kind of place you’d imagine Prince living in.

“We get in this purple suede elevator, [which] takes us to this giant ballroom with chandeliers. There’s a rose piano, a microphone set-up, and some drums. I first get on the drum set, and I’m trying to play, and he takes the drumsticks away and tells me I have no rhythm, which I don’t. Then he gets on the rose piano and I get on the microphone and I was like, ‘Okay, I’m with Prince, and he looks soul, so why NOT sing ‘Natural Woman’?’ We sing ‘Natural Woman’, I am not kidding. [Hard to] believe it actually happened, but it did.”
