Taylor Swift Absent from Tim McGraw's CMA Fest Set
7 Jun
Summary
- Taylor Swift did not make a surprise appearance at CMA Fest.
- Her country song release coincided with CMA Fest.
- Swift last performed at CMA Fest in 2013.
Rumors swirled that Taylor Swift would make a surprise appearance at CMA Fest during Tim McGraw's set. This speculation was fueled by Swift's release of a new country song, "I Knew It, I Knew You," on June 5, the first night of the festival. The song broke streaming records and was released just before McGraw, whom Swift famously wrote about early in her career, was set to headline.
However, Swift did not appear as a special guest during McGraw's performance. Swift's history at CMA Fest dates back nearly two decades, with five past performances at Nissan Stadium. Her 2013 appearance marked her last main-stage performance before her full pivot to pop music with the album "1989."
