LeAnn Rimes and Jessica Capshaw have taken a break from their onscreen rivalry to have a little fun at their fans' expense, stirring up "a little emotional sabotage" with a "traumatizing" new social media video targeting Grey's Anatomy viewers.
On the set of 9-1-1: Nashville, Capshaw rested on a hospital bed with her eyes closed, while Rimes sat on a stool at her side and belted out “The Story”—the same song that Sara Ramirez’s Callie sang as her spirit watched over her fellow doctors fighting to save her life after being thrown through a windshield.
Capshaw lay with her hands clasped over her waist and her eyes closed until Rimes broke out of the song, placing her arms on the edge of the bed and pleading, “Wake up, Blythe.”
Capshaw popped up, joking, “I’ve seen the light!” before the two celebrated their successful take at “drama, nostalgia, and a little emotional sabotage.”
But, seeing as Rimes’ Dixie and Capshaw’s Blythe are not on the friendliest of terms, the two quickly switched back into the mode of having to “hate each other again,” with Rimes throwing her middle finger up at Capshaw’s back as they left their little side set.
It Felt Like a Punch in the Gut to Fans Who Still Think About the Emotional Musical Episode
Fans joked that the video was the equivalent of "cyber-bullying," telling the country star and the Grey's alum, "We do not joke about this."
"my culture is NOT your costume," several quipped, while others asked, "so my trauma is joke to you?" and, "So you want to traumatize me 🤨?"

"I can’t go through this again !" one lamented.
Another demanded, "How. Dare. You."
"I feel personally attacked," someone else replied, with another agreeing, "Hey so I don’t like this."
"you just twisted the knife," another dramatic commenter declared, recalling the stress of thinking that Callie might not survive.
The 'Beautiful' Cover Is Available Online
But, amid all of the visceral memories caused by the video, a small few couldn't help but to point out how lovely Rimes' voice was on the quick cover, with one going so far as to write, "No but release this song as a full version you sing it so beautifully."
Rimes performed the full version of the Brandi Carlile track back in 2020, when she won The Masked Singer while disguised as the sun. What many haven't realized is that the singer actually did professionally cover the track on her 2016 album Remnants, so it looks like, for those not completely traumatized by the memories of Callie's almost-death, dreams do come true.
