Kree Harrison is a huge fan of Prince. She told Taste of Country that news of the pop icon’s death tore her up on Thursday. The American Idol season 12 runner-up first paid tribute to him on Facebook before heading to TOC to perform an acoustic version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song made famous by Sinead O’Connor in 1990. Guitarist Jason Martin backs her up, singing harmonies when needed.
