Blake Shelton Performs Footloose for CMT Invitation Only. You may have gotten a chance to watch Blake Shelton perform “Footloose” live on the 2011 CMA Awards, but that’s not the only place Shelton has been performing this track! In a recent performance for a much smaller audience, Blake performed his new, hit cover of the classic for CMT’s “Invitation Only“ on Monday, November 14th. The song is quite catchy in its original format, but I have to say, Shelton gives a certain spice to the song you simply will not find in the classic version. So, if you haven’t had a chance yet, check out Blake’s version of “Footloose“, and see if it makes you want to get up and shake it!
