SPOT CHECK, URBAN OUTLIERS

Columbia breakout Lil Nas X and his remix buddy Billy Ray Cyrus join Spotify's Chaka Zulu, Brittany Schaffer and John Marks for this genre-blending photo op after performing at Spotify House during CMA Fest. Later, Ron Perry moseyed into a saloon and ordered a sarsaparilla.

But Nas wasn't done with his diplomatic mission. On Saturday, day three, he showed up unannounced at Nissan Stadium to perform “Road” with Billy Ray and Keith Urban, and the massive crowd, of course, went wild. But we digress.

The streamery's event featured a huge lineup of artists, including Little Big Town, Trisha Yearwood, Midland, Rascal Flatts, Lauren Alaina, Tenille Townes and Morgan Wallen & HARDY. Big Machine's Midland, pictured below with the Spot crew, participated in a panel discussion and announced a new Spotify podcast, which means that now in addition to their music and talk, there will also be a stream of bourbon.
