Roll the windows down, a Florida Georgia Line reunion may be cruising into CMA Fest.
A new billboard in midtown Nashville is fueling speculation that the country duo of Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley could be closer than fans think. The billboard, located off Broadway, features the message “FGL LFG” alongside a phone number, 615-819-5007.
When fans text the number, the prompt allows them to sign up for Florida Georgia Line alerts.
On the red carpet of the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, Hubbard hinted that he and his former bandmate have discussed performing together.
“We’ve been hanging out, laughing, cutting up, goofing around and it just feels like the old days,” he told ET host Cassie DiLaura. “For us, we’re just trying to soak it up, make the most of it, not rush anything, be really smart about it. But we have been toying around and flirting with the idea of playing a handful of shows next year and that gets us both excited. But, right now, we’re trying to be patient with it, trying to enjoy this honeymoon phase if you will.”

Why did the split happen?
The split between Hubbard and Kelley was less about personal animosity and more about differing visions for the future of Florida Georgia Line.
In separate appearances on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast in 2024, both artists said Kelley initiated conversations about pursuing a solo career. Hubbard explained that he was surprised by the timing because he believed the duo had reached a “sweet spot” after more than a decade of success.
According to Kelley, he envisioned a model where both artists could release solo music while continuing Florida Georgia Line under the same umbrella. He pointed to other groups that balanced individual projects with group commitments. He also said he had developed detailed plans for how that arrangement could work.
Hubbard ultimately disagreed with that approach. He said he struggled both emotionally and practically with the idea of maintaining Florida Georgia Line while simultaneously pursuing separate solo careers. Describing the experience as feeling “like a divorce,” Hubbard said the two worked through difficult conversations and even sought guidance through therapy before deciding to part ways.
Despite the breakup, both artists have repeatedly expressed gratitude for what they built together.
Maybe a reunion is imminent during CMA Fest.
