Apple reportedly bought the rights to "Carpool Karaoke" to promote its Apple Music in July 2016. The show was originally produced by James Corden, Ben Winston and Eric Pankowski.
The new trailer shows Keys pairing up with Legend as they enjoy singing her hit song "Fallin." The "All of Me" crooner is also shown donning Pharrell's iconic "Grammy hat" and claiming that old women think he is the singer-rapper-record producer sometimes. Meanwhile, legendary group Metallica is revealed to be covering Rihanna's "Diamonds."
Other celebrities featured in the promo are Smith, Grande, Handler and Shelton. It is also revealed that the guests will make pit stops along the way. Metallica is shown stopping at a supermarket to perform their rendition of "Enter Sandman." Handler and Shelton, who are one of the pairings, take a break at a bar. Smith, on the other hand, leaves the car with Corden to belt out R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" while riding in a helicopter.
Apple has yet to announce a release date for "Carpool Karaoke."
