You never know who you will run into at CMA Fest with the hundreds of amazingly talented artists all in Nashville, Tennessee.

We were able to catch up with our good friend Peytan Porter. Peytan is a small-town Georgia native who has received a lot of accolades, such as iHeart TikTok Songwriter of the Year and a CMT Next Up Now Artist.

More From Peytan

Peytan spoke to us about growing up in a small town, “God’s Hotel,” and being vulnerable in her art.
