Kenny Chesney has entered the Country Music Hall of Fame. The No Shoes Nation singer was inducted during a ceremony in Nashville. Prior to the ceremony, Chesney posed for photos with a host of Country Music Hall of Fame members, including superstars Garth Brooks, George Strait, Randy Travis and Vince Gill. "Taking the group shot with a lot of my heroes and a lot of my friends, it was the first time that I have ever felt accomplished in my life," Chesney said later during his onstage remarks during the Nashville event. "And I just want to thank you, God, for that. With every cell in my body, I feel the gravity of this moment." Chesney joined the late June Carter Cash and producer Tony Brown in the Hall of Fame's class of 2025, bringing its total number to 158. For almost three hours, at the invitation-only ceremony, the three inductees were celebrated with words, song and ovations in the intimate CMA Theatre. Chesney cited his parents, Karen Chandler and David Chesney, in his 15-minute address, as they watched from the front row. "It's really a gift to be 57 years old and get inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and be sitting beside your mother and father."
