NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — The 51st annual CMA Fest has come and gone with some of country music's biggest names performing across Nashville.
The festival took place over four days with surprise appearances from stars including Jelly Roll, Post Malone and Clint Black. Country stars Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and more took the stage at Nissan Stadium to end each big night.
Another big hit was the Spotify House inside Blake Shelton's bar Ole Red as lines wrapped around the venue yet again this year. Country stars Luke Bryan and Cody Johnson were among those who took the stage during the festival.
Other stars including global sensation Dolly Parton made special appearances instead of performing, except when she briefly sang the chorus from "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You" at the CMA Close Up Stage inside Fan Fair X the first day of the fest.
