ABC’s Rachel Smith has a blast as she gives country music fans an exclusive backstage glimpse of the ‘CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock’. Smith, who hails from Tennessee takes viewers backstage as she has what she calls, her “annual fan girl moment” getting the inside scoop on the artists that performed at this year’s event.

The CMA music festival is a dream come true for country music fans, and every years thousands of fans flood the home of country music in Tennessee. The event is being hosted this year by two of country music’s hottest male artists, Brett Eldredge and Thomas Rhett, and they are just two amazing artists Smith got the chance to chat with. When Smith asked the two how they have been prepping to host the event together, both Eldredge and Rhett told Smith they’ve toured together and have done some commercials together so they’re all set.

Among the country music stars appearing at the CMA music festival are Carrie Underwood, Steven Tyler, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, Jason Aldean, Old Dominion, and many more. Smith sat down with Keith Urban who is also performing at the festival. Urban told Smith how the life-force of country music followers is just so amazing and unrivaled, he’s always excited to sing and playing for them.

“The party isn’t just on the stage however, it is all over town”, Smith said. Where she bumped into Old Dominion and was treated to some fun bantering and a rally cry to get ready to play. This is country’s night to shine and to show their fans the appreciation they deserve.

The CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock will air on ABC tonight night, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
