Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins brought pure country fun to CMA Fest 2025 with a lively performance of “Hillbilly Bone.” The moment Shelton started strumming the opening riff, the crowd at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium erupted, ready for the kind of down-home energy only these two can deliver. Shelton played the role of the friendly host, grinning as he worked the stage, while Adkins arrived with his deep baritone and that unmistakable swagger, wearing his signature cowboy hat.
The two singers traded lines with playful confidence, each verse building into the rowdy chorus that had thousands of fans singing along. Their chemistry was easy and natural—like two old friends telling a story everyone already knew by heart—and the stadium lights flashed in sync with the beat as dancers and fans waved their hands high.
By the time they reached the final chorus, Shelton and Adkins had turned the entire arena into one giant country party, proving that “Hillbilly Bone” still hits just as hard as it did the first time they sang it.
