Nashville is gearing up for a massive CMA Fest week, with Spotify returning to the Ole Red venue and the Grand Ole Opry launching its "Summer of the Century" celebration.
While the city prepares for tourism, Dave Ramsey continues to use his Nashville studio to anchor his financial advice, recently telling a caller, "No, you can buy in Nashville, Tennessee" on The Ramsey Show. This contrasts with the broader economic anxiety highlighted by Middle Tennessee State University's recent consumer report, which warns of a widening gap between business leaders and everyday residents.
Elsewhere, the city's cultural footprint remains a frequent touchpoint. Dax Shepard leaned into local color on Armchair Expert while discussing the trades, noting, "I was just talking about this with a neighbor in Nashville 'cause he's a builder." Meanwhile, Hayden Panettiere reflected on her time filming the show Nashville on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, describing how the production's demands complicated her mental health: "I did have to say to the show, 'I have to go get treatment.'." As NASCAR prepares to launch its new Bussin' With The Boys collaboration, expect the city's media influence to only accelerate.
