The gold chain cowboy, Parker McCollum, performs the deeply personal “What Kinda Man.”
Chase Matthew bursts with energy while performing the carefree song, “Holdin' It Down.”
Russel Dickerson smoothly sings the lyrics from “She Likes It”:, "She likes it when I- / When I leave her a note, make us reservations / Just because /That girl's worth celebrating / When I already know /What she's thinkin' / She don't have to say it, yeah.”
The “redneck woman” herself, Gretchen Wilson, delivers the rowdy anthem "Here for the Party.”
Dylan Scott tells the audience to appreciate life with his song “Good Times Go By Too Fast”: “Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower /Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over /Better soak it in, better make it last /Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast.”
American Idol winner Lauren Alaina performs “One Beer,” the 2020 country collaboration by HARDY featuring herself and Devin Dawson singing: “One beer turns into a lit cigarette / Burnin' into a two beer buzz / Three beers turns into five and six /Then a love drunk kiss in the back of that truck.”
Kane Brown is all smiles as he performs “Like I Love Country Music,” acknowledging the legends that came before him.
Childhood friends Lauren Alaina and Kane Brown share the stage as they perform their song contrasting fear and faith, “What Ifs.”
Carly Pearce sings the lyrics “ I hope you find what you were looking for” from the deeply emotional track, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”
Luke Bryan delivers a high-pitch performance of smash-hit “That’s My Kinda Night.”
Shaboozey takes the stage and asks for help from the Lord in the Jelly Roll-assisted song, “Amen.”
