01:06I'm excited to see Ella's song, too.

01:08I'm just excited for the whole night, honestly.

01:09Tucker, we need you to grab your ears.

01:11I got Mariah Carey stuck in my head.

01:12How do I psych myself up to perform?

01:13Well, this is my first big one, I guess.

01:14I don't really know if I'm being honest.

01:15I'm really scared.

01:16I'm nervous.

01:17But I'm excited.

01:18So I'll probably do some jumping jacks, maybe a backflip.

01:19I don't know.

01:20Pray.

01:21I'm gonna pray.

01:22I'm gonna pray.

01:23I'm wearing something a little more elevated on stage for the performance.

01:24More elevated than the usual shows.

01:25Got Wrangler jeans on, as usual.

01:26I think I'm going like an all-brown type thing.

01:28American hat on top.

01:29Bar Vedas?

01:30I don't know.

01:31I don't know.

02:01Let's go to Barbados.

02:02With a B.

02:03With a B.

02:04With a B.

02:10Next Old Dominion welcomed us into their rehearsal.

02:14I mean, the longer this goes, we're just more grateful and just honored that we're here.

02:19And able to perform at this level.

02:22So, everything past the first one has been great.

02:26So, it's a little nerve-wracking, but we're super proud of where we are.

02:30Give it up for Old Dominion!

02:49What's up?

02:50I was taken by you, man.

02:52Yeah, it's going to be a medley, just some hits that we've had over our career.

02:57You know what?

02:58New can be what, 10?

02:5910 years.

03:0010 years.

03:01You know?

03:02So, yeah.

03:03We're just going to try to cram in as many of our hits as we can.

03:06And it's going to be fun.

03:07It's going to be fun.

03:08I think my favorite memory is the first year we won LT, our radio rep.

03:20There was a video of her when we won.

03:21She got so excited.

03:22She stood up and she threw her drink into the air and it went all over someone in front of

03:27her.

03:28It was incredible.

03:29She was so excited.

03:30That was the moment for us that we realized how much support we had from our team.

03:35So, it really was very meaningful to see how many people worked for us.

03:38And to make this dream happen and how excited they were it really made us feel very special.

03:52And to make this dream happen, how excited they were, it really made us feel very special.

04:22All that was left was the big show.

04:29We got to hear from both on the red carpet ahead of their performances.

04:33Who were you most excited to see tonight?

04:35Well, I think Cody Johnson's right behind me.

04:37Yeah, it's insane.

04:37Which is absolutely insane.

04:38I'm a huge Cody Joe fan.

04:39Dude, me too.

04:40I know, I just shook his hand over there.

04:41No.

04:42Hey, man, good to see you.

04:43I know we've had a couple times, but all right, I'm going to go away now.

04:46Yeah.

04:47I just saw Big X, too, a good buddy of mine, and Bailey, and Brandon Lake,

04:51and, you know, I'm excited to see everybody.

04:53I'm just, we're all good friends.

04:54You guys are nominated tonight.

04:56You have been before.

04:57Any, like, huge moments that stick out that will always be burned in your brain from the CMAs?

05:04I mean, the first time you win, it's pretty incredible.

05:06It was a big shock to us, and we just kind of learned in that moment how many people were around us

05:14supporting us, our team and our families and our friends and our peers,

05:18and it just kind of pulled back the curtain for us and let us see how much support we actually had

05:23in a business that kind of feels like you're just scrapping out there alone sometimes.

05:28It was really eye-opening for us.

05:29Who were some of your influences for your live show?

05:33Man, I got a lot.

05:34You know, I think Elvis was one of the best to do it.

05:36Michael Jackson was definitely, you know, if not the best to do it.

05:40He's up there for me, too.

05:41Yeah.

05:41I'm a huge Jerry Lee Lewis fan as well.

05:43You can tell that.

05:44I was waiting for it.

05:46Yeah, there's, you know, it's kind of a pod of different people, but I'm just me at the end of the day.

05:51Yeah, 100%.

05:52And you can tell that.

05:53You're very authentic.

05:55Then finally, the performances we've been waiting for.

05:58I think they both knocked it out of the park.

06:00You look like one day to jump in a little
