Nashville’s iconic Troubadour Theatre lit up Monday night as a constellation of music legends gathered to honor Sheryl Crow during the BMI Troubadour Tribute. Among the standout performances were Olivia Rodrigo’s heartfelt rendition of 'If It Makes You Happy,' Chris Stapleton’s soulful take on 'A Change Would Do You Good,' and Jason Isbell’s evocative delivery of 'Strong Enough.'
