Jon Pardi says there's one thing that set Kenny Chesney apart from anyone else and it's the reason he's being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year. It's his stadium shows. The "Dirt on My Boots" hitmaker stopped by to chat with Taste of Country Nights, and when we asked his thoughts on Chesney getting inducted, Pardi lit up.

The stadium-filling superstar Kenny Chesney will join the Country Music Hall of Fame this year alongside musical matriarch June Carter Cash and powerhouse producer Tony Brown. Why it matters: Induction into the Hall of Fame is the biggest and most exclusive honor in country music.

Kenny Chesney got a very special early birthday present on Tuesday (March 25), one day before he turned 57. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, in a class that also included producer Tony Brown and the late June Carter Cash. Chesney is the youngest solo inductee since Garth Brooks, who was just 50 when he was inducted in 2012.
