The special is a star-studded concert that was organized by CMT to raise funds for those affected by the devastating tornadoes in the Southeastern United States that happened earlier that year. The concert was held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, and all proceeds from the event were donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts.

The concert began with a performance by Keith Urban, who played his hit song "Days Go By." The audience, which was made up of people affected by the tornadoes and their families, responded with cheers and applause. Following Urban's performance, Erin Andrews came on stage to welcome everyone and to talk about the purpose of the concert.

There were also video packages that showcased the devastation caused by the tornadoes and the work being done by the American Red Cross to provide assistance to those affected.

One of the most powerful moments of the concert came when Vince Gill took the stage to perform "Go Rest High on That Mountain."

The audience was visibly moved by the performance, many wiping tears from their eyes.

Other standout performances included Lady Antebellum's rendition of "I Run To You," Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," and Martina McBride's "Anyway." Each performance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
