Brittney Kelley got a close-up look when her husband, Brian Kelley, reunited with Florida Georgia Line duo partner Tyler Hubbard in a surprise festival moment on Thursday night (June 4).

Florida Georgia Line reunited on the first night of the Country Music Association’s CMA Fest in front of thousands of fans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Pro boxing and wrestling announcer Michael Buffer announced Brian Kelley and Hubbard as the crowd cheered. The pair went on to perform “Round Here” and “Cruise,” two hits that appeared on their debut studio record, Here’s to the Good Times, in 2012.

“God is so good 😭🙌🏽🙏🏽🥹,” Brittney Kelley wrote in a caption on Instagram on Friday morning (June 5). The reel shows a glimpse of her singing along to “Cruise” as he husband took the stage with Hubbard.

Florida Georgia Line’s career launched in 2012, and since then, the duo became known for “Cruise,” “Round Here,” “This Is How We Roll,” “Stay,” “H.O.L.Y.,” “Get Your Shine On,” “May We All,” “Sippin’ On Fire,” “Anything Goes” and more throughout their career. They announced in February 2022 that they were “taking a break” as a duo to pursue solo projects, and played their final show as FGL in August of that year, ending the performance by embracing one another and exiting to opposite sides of the stage. In recent months, Brian Kelley and his duo partner have stirred anticipation for a Florida Georgia Line reunion, including posting photos with one another on social media and hinting at possible performances in interviews. During CMA Fest on Thursday night, the two singer-songwriters started their performance on opposite sides of the stadium and met on a platform stage in the middle of the crowd.

Brittney wrote in a caption on Instagram earlier this year, after she and her husband reconnected with Hubbard and his wife, Hayley Hubbard: “Proof that God’s timing is always better than ours. This week was about healing, laughter, and remembering the ‘why’ that brought us together in the first place. We’re thankful for time together, honest conversations, and the chance to reconnect on a deeper level. Thank you to the Hubbard fam for hosting us at your home out West 🤎 We left with peace about the past and a reminder that redemption is real and the future is bright ✨🎶”
