Thanks to ABC, you can watch three days worth of country music in its annual special hosted by Thomas Rhett and Kelsey Ballerini. Here’s how to watch CMA Fest 2017 online.

You’re either a country music fan or you turn your nose up at those of us who know that nothing compares to driving with the windows down and Old Dominion turned all the way up on the radio.

Now, over in Nashville, all the biggest stars come together to perform a live concert from June 8-11. For anyone who can’t make it all the way to Tennessee, ABC comes in clutch by putting together a special that airs later in August. This special is known as CMA Fest: The Music Event of the Summer. 

This year, megastars like Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Sam Hunt, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Garth Brooks and basically everybody I freakin’ love will be performing live. It’s a can’t-miss event. And if you did miss it, don’t miss the special on ABC.

Let’s check out the synopsis from TV Guide, just so we’re all on the same page:

"Kelsea Ballerini and Thomas Rhett host coverage of the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, featuring country music stars hitting the stage to perform during the four-day celebration of America’s music."

I’m a little bit shocked at how quickly Kelsea Ballerini turned herself into a star, but otherwise, I’m down for this hosting match-up. Also, if you’re reading this by some chance, Thomas, I would like to say congratulations on your new baby.
