Dasha’s rise might seem like an overnight success—but she’s been chasing this dream since elementary school!

In this special episode recorded live at CMA Fest 2025, our Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist shares the journey behind her stardom: from musical theatre and writing songs about her crush to performing in coffee shops—all before the age of 10.

Get the real story on how a video filmed in a horse stable turned ""Austin"" into a viral hit and when we can expect new music. Dasha opens up about her wild ride, staying grounded, and the passion that’s fueled her every step of the way.

The guys of Rascal Flatts —Jay DeMarcus, Gary LeVox, and Joe Don Rooney—join us live from CMA Fest to celebrate their new album Life Is a Highway: Refueled Duets. From collaborating with the Jonas Brothers on the new summer anthem “I Dare You” to reimagining classics with friends like Kelly Clarkson, Carly Pearce, the Backstreet Boys, and more, they open up about what inspired this unique project and how it all came together. The trio also reflects on their emotional reunion, unforgettable tour moments, and the night their signature harmonies first came together in a Nashville bar. Plus, we get the scoop on what’s next and why the door isn’t closed on more Rascal Flatts live shows.
