Johnson was one of the many stars who took the stage during the four-day festival, which drew thousands of country music fans to Nashville for concerts, meet-and-greets and special appearances throughout the city.
One of the weekend’s most talked-about moments came when Lainey Wilson joined Tim McGraw on stage, while several surprise guests and cross-generational collaborations kept fans guessing throughout the festival.
