Watch Kenny Chesney’s Unforgettable Performance of ‘Get Along’
Kenny Chesney brought his signature feel-good energy to the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards with a standout performance of his hit song, “Get Along.” As the only country artist on the lineup, Chesney took center stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Monday night (March 17), delivering a powerful moment of unity and positivity that had the audience singing along.
Kelsea Ballerini Introduces a Country Music Legend
Before Chesney hit the stage, he received a heartfelt introduction from fellow Knoxville native and former tourmate, Kelsea Ballerini. Dressed in a stunning strapless black gown, Ballerini beamed with pride as she reflected on Chesney’s impact on country music and their shared East Tennessee roots.
“Kenny started breaking musical ground in 2002 when he made the summer stadium tour a rite of passage. Like me, he is a songwriter from East Tennessee. Like literally, my dad and his mom live five doors down from each other. It’s giving family,” Ballerini said before welcoming him to the stage.
A Performance That Lit Up the Night
As blue lights flooded the stage, Chesney emerged in his signature look—jeans, a t-shirt, cowboy hat, and boots—ready to deliver a high-energy rendition of “Get Along.” The song, known for its uplifting message and island-country vibe, resonated with the audience, who eagerly sang along to every word.
The performance was a reminder of Chesney’s unmatched ability to bring people together through music. From the first strum of his guitar to the final chorus, the crowd was completely engaged, swaying to the breezy melody and powerful lyrics:
“Get along, on down the road/ We’ve got a long, long way to go/ Scared to live, scared to die/ We ain’t perfect but we try/ Get along while we can/ Always give love the upper hand…”
With a backdrop of warm-toned lights and a band that perfectly complemented his laid-back delivery, Chesney’s performance stood out as one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The Meaning Behind ‘Get Along’
Written by Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne, “Get Along” encourages listeners to set aside their differences and embrace kindness. The song’s message felt even more powerful in the live setting, as Chesney’s genuine passion for spreading positivity radiated throughout the Dolby Theater.
