2023 CMAfest: TheTimMcGraw, lukebryan, DierksBentley, TheAlabamaBand Wrap Sunday Night Finale
CMA Fest 2023 came to a close Sunday night at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, celebrating its milestone 50th anniversary with a stacked lineup of some of country music’s brightest stars across multiple decades, demonstrating the enduring impact of the genre on generations of fans.; since earning their first No. 1 with “Tennessee River” in 1980, the group continued lobbing hits at Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, earning 17 No. 1s over the next five years, and earning 21 No.
Following their Nissan Stadium set, country group Alabama was honored with the Country Music Association’s Pinnacle Award. The honor recognizes an artist or group who has “undeniably redefined the pinnacle of success in the genre by achieving prominence through concert performances, consumption numbers, record sales and/or other significant industry achievements at levels unique for Country Music.
“On behalf of our late cousin, Mr. Jeff Cook, who we recently lost, on behalf of me and Teddy, the whole Alabama gang, thank y’all for letting us play for ya for over 50 years. We love you,” Owen told the crowd. She started her set with the determined “Made For This,” before stalking the stage with a microphone in one hand and a hot pink bra dangling from her other hand. As she launched into the clever and irreverent tale of “Brenda Put Your Bra On,” featured on her most recent album, the collaborative project, McBryde lobbed more than a few saucy looks at the crowd, before flinging the brassiere into the audience.
His comments were more than just a quip, as Bentley spent a good portion of the past four evenings at Nissan Stadium alongside Lainey Wilson and Elle King, co-hosting the upcoming CMA Fest television special. Bentley did double-duty during CMA Fest’s closing night, as both co-host and entertainer.
