Zoom in: During his set, he explained that the two buildings are right next to one another. He asked the crowd to make noise for the kids in the detention center.

• "I know they can hear us because I was one of them one time. I was in that juvenile facility," he said.
• "I was in and out of jail. I was in and out of drug addiction. And tonight I am headlining CMA Fest."
• He paused and wiped tears away as the crowd cheered.

Zoom out: Jelly Roll, who is a Nashville native, said he remembered his dad taking him to watch the Titans play at the stadium when the team first arrived in Music City.
