Hey🌹, all love and how are you doing today?

[@debminter4201]

These singers/actors created some of the most beautiful duets and memorable songs that are still on my regular playlist years later. I wish wish wish they would create more music together. Shout out to the magnificent songwriters of Nashville! Awesome!

@@danreynolds14 love to see you in Nashville and outer Banks. I only watch the shows to see you ❤❤❤❤❤❤ . Such a kind and amazing person 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I watch this show literally every summer, and Rayna dying off really hits me everytime. But her death allowed us to see Deacon find himself inside a world he never imagined living, and that was without Rayna. Loved the show, and I hope we can get a reunion at least in five years. To sort of see where and what everyone is doing. Top five shows of all tike for sure

[@AladeenMusic]

funny enough even in the ABC whose line he was always credited as Charles Esten(but they still call him Chip)

[@leif1075]

Aww does Khalie Courie not sing? I felt bad for her when she said not me..

[@tribaldiana1470]

the writer of this show has a very dim view of life apparently.seems she could have made some more happy times for the characters. give us some relief. life is not all this bad.

[@tribaldiana1470]

love the music on this show too bad they had to bring so much drama and tragedy to the series. it was way too much, one thing after another. needed more good things happening.. thats the downfall of this show.
