The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!

From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.

We were able to catch up with MacKenzie Porter.
MacKenzie grew up on a cattle and bison ranch in Canada. She always had a music bug but spent some time acting in hit TV shows like Hell on Wheel, but now she is pursuing music full-time.

We were able to talk to her about her journey, her 19-song debut album, titled Nobody’s Born With A Broken Heart, and motherhood!
