Who's got your vote this week?

Scotty McCreery and newcomer Payton Smith will open.

McCreery explains what country music means to him.

McCreery performed the ballad live on Bobby Bones' 2019 St. Jude Radiothon to help raise money for kids with cancer.

The song is one of three that will be released from the singer's upcoming EP.
