What's shaping this score?

TikTok powerhouse, Instagram reach machine

What's Working

TikTok is where CMA Fest lands hardest: it turns more of its reach into reactions than the top 25% of TikTok accounts worldwide, a rare strength on a platform where most festivals struggle to convert viewers into engagement.

Its posts caught more likes, comments and shares across the run than three quarters of festivals worldwide, and more reactions than all but two Country festivals in the United States.

The video punches through: its Reels and TikToks are watched far beyond the festival's own following, placing it in the top 25% of festivals globally for video reach.

Read the comments and it is overwhelmingly people who had a good time, a warmer response than three quarters of festivals worldwide get, with sentiment ranking in the top 25% globally.

Instagram delivered the bigger reaction haul in absolute terms, hitting the live coverage benchmark at 34 posts per day during the PAW (peak attention window), while TikTok's engagement rate punches above its posting volume.
