Tucker Wetmore & Old Dominion take us behind the scenes of their CMA Awards rehearsals before the big show and discuss what went into these performances.

Tetris Kelly:

The CMAs took over Nashville this week, and Tucker Wetmore and Old Dominion show you what went down behind the scenes in Billboard All Access. Let’s check out Tucker’s rehearsal.

Tucker Wetmore:

Tucker Wetmore, here for rehearsal. 

Security:

Yeah, you’re good. 

Tucker Wetmore:

Yeah, thanks, man. I’m excited to see a bunch of people. Lainey, my buddy, BigX, I’m excited to see him do his thing up there. I’m excited to see Ella’s song too. I’m just excited for the whole night honestly.

Guest 1:

Tucker, we need you to grab your ears.

Tucker Wetmore:

Mariah Carey’s stuck in my head. How do I psych myself up to perform? Well, this is my first, like, big one, I guess. I don’t really know. If I’m being honest, I’m really scared. I’m nervous, but I’m excited. So I’ll probably do some jumping jacks, maybe backflip, I don’t know. Pray. I’m gonna pray. I’m wearing something a little more elevated onstage for the performance, more elevated than the usual shows. Got Wrangler Jeans on as usual. I think I’m doing like an all-brown type thing. American hat on top.

Tetris Kelly:

Next, Old Dominion welcomed us into their rehearsal.

Matthew Ramsey:

I mean, the longer this goes, we’re just more grateful and just honored that we’re here and able to perform at this level. So everything past the first one has been great, so it’s a little nerve-racking, but we’re super proud of where it is.

Keep watching for more!
