Kahan appeared onstage during Williams’ second of three nights at the Ryman Auditorium, on her first-ever solo tour. “Thank you Hayley, you’re a legend,” Kahan said, before breaking into the Great Divide highlight. Williams joined Kahan for the chorus, harmonizing with him.

Kahan co-produced and co-wrote “Downfall” with Aaron Dessner and Gabe Simon, while Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon contributed backing vocals. Hours after releasing the album on April 24, Kahan dropped the extended version The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs, which included four additional tracks: “Lighthouse,” “Staying Still,” “A Few of Your Own,” and “Orbiter.”
