Gwyneth Paltrow has credited superstar pals Beyonce and Faith Hill with helping her to shake off her nerves ahead of her singing debut at Wednesday night's Country Music Association Awards.
The Oscar-winner hit the stage with Vince Gill to belt out the theme tune to her new movie 'Country Strong', in which she plays Tim McGraw''s alcoholic wife, reports the Daily Express.
The performance, Paltrow''s first major live show as a singer, earned her a standing ovation at the Bridgestone Arena in the country music mecca of Nashville, Tennessee.
And the actress reveals she''s "lucky" to know superstars Beyonce and Hill "in real life" - because they were instrumental in teaching her how to overcome her fears.
"I kind of asked my girl singer friends (for advice). I asked Faith (Hill) a lot of questions - and Beyonce, actually, too," Paltrow told U.S. news programme Access Hollywood.
The actress also admitted she had "studied" the Halo hitmaker''s previous live shows to pick up tips on how to appear confident onstage.
Gwyneth Paltrow is in negotiations to star in 'Glee'.
The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly in talks to star as a potential love interest for teacher Will Schuester - played by Matthew Morrison - in the musical TV show.
According to E! Online, the part was written specifically for the 'Iron Man' actress as she is a close friend of 'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy.
We're going to rock the house. We're going to do some heavy metal - Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.
If the exciting casting does come to fruition, Gwyneth will play the role of a substitute teacher in two episodes, and will step in to take over the glee club when Mr. Schuester falls ill.
However, Gwyneth's character complicates Mr. Schuester's relationship with quirky guidance counsellor Emma (Jayma Mays) when he starts to fall for her.
Gwyneth - who will have an all-singing, all-dancing role in the show - is not the only Oscar-winning star set to make a guest appearance in season two of the Fox series.
Javier Bardem recently revealed he is set to appear as a rock star who befriends Artie (Kevin McHale).
He said: "We're going to rock the house. We're going to do some heavy metal - Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst."
Scarlett Johansson injured her neck while filming 'Iron Man 2'.
The Hollywood star - who plays Natasha Romanoff and her sexy alter-ego, Russian spy Black Widow, in the new superhero movie - strained her muscles while shooting an energetic fight scene.
She explained: "I had such a great stunt team who were unbelievably supportive. They were like, 'You can do it! Go!' And you have to believe you can do it and that's when it works.
I'd never been able to challenge myself in that way so that was exciting - something new
"I have to say though, I'll probably never be able to turn my neck to the left again."
Scarlett, 24, previously revealed she really enjoyed the physical aspects involved in her role.
She said: "I've never done anything like that before - especially the physical side of the stunt work. I'd never been able to challenge myself in that way so that was exciting - something new. And it used up aggression too!"
'Iron Man 2' - which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr. - is due for release next May.
