#CMAFest24: Jake Worthington talks about rescuing horses and collaborating with the legendary Reba McEntire

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 country star, songwriter extraordinaire, and our buddy Jake Worthington.
Jake has lived a crazy life, from growing up in rural Texas competing on The Voice collaborating with country music’s biggest stars, and performing at the NFR.

He spoke with us about his musical journey, collaborating with Reba, and rescuing horses with his wife.
