If it’s meant to be, it’ll be. And it is, as Florida Georgia Line reunited on stage over the weekend at CMA Fest in Nashville.

The hitmaking Country duo is back after an “indefinite hiatus” in 2022, and Tyler Hubbard joined Holly Hutton shortly after his appearance with bandmate Brian Kelley, to talk about how it all came together.

“We just started hanging out again, you know, and having a good time,” Tyler tells Holly. “We went on a hike and then we went on a fishing trip and then we went on a ski trip and now we've got about 17 vacations planned together, and we think this is really working out well for us.”

“It's super low key and we're really grateful to, honestly have our friendship back and just excited about where that's going,” he adds. “It feels stronger than ever and our wives and ourselves have just been having a blast and just soaking up the moment and living in it. The music's kind of been a cherry on top for both of us, you know, it's like let's get our friendship back and then we'll think about music.”

Thankfully for fans, the more the two hung out, the more they wanted to play music together. “We're all in a really good place, really exciting place, and I think next year is gonna be a lot of fun,” he reveals.

On June 4, Kelley and Hubbard made their way through the crowd at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and to the stage to perform “Round Here” and “Cruise.”

“It was pretty awesome. I'm not gonna lie, it was probably one of the highlights of my whole career,” Tyler shares on his return to the stage. “It was really, really special. The energy, the excitement, the friends, getting to do it at Nissan, and, yeah, it was definitely one of those moments I'll never forget.”

So with FGL back in play, what does that mean for the solo careers of Hubbard and Kelley? “BK and I, we said, ‘man, we just wanna get on stage and play some shows,’ you know, and have a good time and bring the party,” Hubbard says. “Celebrate the years of music that we made, and, and so, we're having fun with that, but I think we're gonna allow ourselves enough freedom and flexibility to both continue to pursue our solo careers and anything else that our heart leads us to pursue and so, it's a really good place to be, you know, it's really fun.”
