Dylan Scott brought the party to CMA Fest with a standout performance of his anthemic track, “Country Till I Die,” delivering one of the most electrifying moments of the night.
Wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt under an olive green button-up, and a camo ball cap, the rising country hitmaker kicked off his performance from the floor of Nissan Stadium, right in the heart of the crowd. Surrounded by fans waving handmade signs with his name and lyrics, he brought unmatched energy, singing face-to-face with the audience and turning the stadium into one big country music celebration.
“C-O-U-N-T-R-Y, I’ll be country ’til I die/ Every day and every night, it’s the only way of life/ I’ve ever known, that’s how Daddy raised me/ You got me wrong if you think that you can change me/ I like it, man, I love it, wouldn’t trade it, not for nothing/ C-O-U-N-T-R-Y, I’ll be country ’til I die (that’s right),” Scott sang as he made his way around the audience.

Before his performance at Nissan Stadium, Dylan Scott opened up about the full-circle moment of performing at CMA Fest. “Tonight here at Nissan for CMA Fest, I’ve been in the nose of bleeds before, like a lot of artists, but this is my first time to actually be down there with the crowd and performing one of my songs. And so it is a full circle moment. You know, for me years ago, being up there and now being down here, and it means a lot,” he explained.
“Country Till I Die” appears on Dylan Scott’s third studio album, Easy Does It, which arrived on May 30 via Curb Records. The 11-track project also features the fan-favorite songs “Till I Can’t, I Will,” “What He’ll Never Have,” “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us,” “I Hate Whiskey” and more.
“This album is a collection of songs that I love and felt strongly about releasing,” Scott previously shared of the new album. “For me, the phrase ‘easy does it’ represents where I’m at in my life right now. I’ve spent so much time in the past focusing on what I was going to do next in my career, comparing myself to my peers, and worrying about what others needed from me. But now, having kids and being married has allowed me to see what I have right in front of me and embrace it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still working hard. But I am more comfortable with myself and my career than ever before, which has made life so much easier.”
