The biggest week in country music is officially taking over Nashville, Tennessee, and this year, the spotlight is shining bright on some familiar faces from television.
CMA Fest brings hundreds of the world’s top artists to downtown stages for a massive four-day celebration. While the stadium lights will showcase traditional superstars, thousands of fans are tracking a highly anticipated reunion of the newest breakout names from American Idol.
Leading the fan excitement this week is the show’s most talked-about real-life couple, Brooks Rosser and Rae Boyd.
