Prior to getting glammed up for The 54th Annual CMA Awards, artists such as Old Dominion, Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Sara Evans and Caylee Hammack, and CMA co-hosts Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker, spent time doing socially-distanced interviews and press backstage at Nashville’s Music City Center.

While on-site, the artists visited photographer Ford Fairchild’s backstage photo booth for an exclusive portrait session and Country Now has a full gallery of pics featuring over 15 artists.
