Jason, who previews there will be dance moves involved, has already had a storied relationship with CMT and with country.

“I’m just such a big fan of music and country music,” he says. “To be kind of inducted as one of the cousins, it’s really fly, and I continue to do more in this world because it’s a passion of mine and I really do enjoy it.”

Jason first collaborated with Luke on the CMT Music Awards alongside Florida Georgia Line back in 2014. He also shared the CMT Crossroads stage with Luke in 2016.
