Jane McDonald in Nashville (2026- )

Jane McDonald continues her journey of discovery in Nashville, seeking inspiration for her country album and finding out why music city is one of the top holiday destinations in the US.

To make the most of the city's nightlife, Jane visits the famous Bluebird Café for open mic night. This is where a teenage Taylor Swift was spotted. Jane might be lucky enough to see a country star of the future.

Next, Jane detours from the hustle and bustle of downtown and travels to Nashville's exclusive suburb of Belle Meade, home of the rich and famous, but also the location of the historic Belle Meade mansion. Jane hears stories of Nashville's past as well as visiting the estate's winery.

The American South is famous for its fried chicken, but in Nashville they like it spicy, so Jane takes the challenge - can she handle Nashville's hot chicken?

But for country music fans, Nashville doesn't get much bigger than the Grand Ole Opry, the world famous radio show. Jane takes a backstage tour of the special venue, which ends with a surprise appearance on stage in the live show! Who'd have thought it? Nashville is inspiring Jane at every turn and so she pays another visit to the studio to check in on her new album and make sure it is on track. Will it be everything that she hoped?

No holiday is complete without shopping for souvenirs and, in Nashville, it's the law to shop for cowboy boots and a hat. So, before she heads home, Jane gets kitted out - country style! With her rhinestone outfit complete, this cowgirl makes one last trip to the Honky Tonks on Broadway; now all she needs is a good ole country song to celebrate the end of a yee-haw trip to Nashville!
