#CMAFest24: Mae Estes talks performing at CMA Fest, the NFR, and the value of good friends by your side

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 our good friend Mae Estes.
The music bug bit may when she began singing at local rodeos in her hometown, and now she has millions of streams on Spotify, touring with some of country’s biggest stars, and even had her Opry debut!

We spoke with her about performing at CMA Fest for the second time, the National Anthem at the 2023 Wrangler NFR, and the importance of having a good group of friends around you!

Watch her sing the National Anthem:
