If you were hoping for any clues on whether Deacon made it through his surgery or not, we might have one for you!
No, sadly we weren't lucky enough to get a shot of Deacon alive and well in Nashville Season 4 Episode 1. It can't be that easy! But we do have a couple of shots of Rayna out and about, and she doesn't seem totally heartbroken. That's something, right?
Also pictured is the new power team of Luke Wheeler and Juliette Barnes, as they put together a concert starring Steven Tyler!
Don't miss the Nashville Season 4 premiere, airing Wednesday, September 23rd at 10/9c.
You can catch up on old episodes before the premiere, when you watch Nashville online via TV Fanatic!
1. Juliette & Steven Tyler - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Talk about your stand out guest appearances! The legend himself, Steven Tyler, will grace our screens when Nashville returns for Season 4, and he'll be pairing up with the least likely person! Juliette, promoting her new album, movie, and contract, somehow managed to snag some stage time with Steven in the premiere!
2. Juliette Full of Joy - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Juliette has always been in her element when she's on stage, performing, and she looks happier than ever in these photos of her premiere performance. But with her emotions still on the fritz due to post-partum depression, she might be in for a mood swing at any minute.
3. Juliette's Duet - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
With her Patsy-Cline bio movie finally released, and her new album backed by Luke Wheeler, it doesn't look like Juliette's career can soar any higher. Until she performs on stage with Steven Tyler that is. There's a reason Juliette looks like she's on cloud nine in all of these photos!
4. Juliette Looking Radiant - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Though she looks breathtaking and happier than ever, we wonder if Juliette might be regretting her decision to bail on Avery and Cadence to pursue her career again. Fame and money can't buy happiness after all, and if her manic behavior last season was any indication, Juliette might not be as composed as she wants people to believe.
5. Steven Tyler - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Aerosmith legend, Steven Tyler, will appear as himself in the premiere of Nashville, and Juliette isn't the only one he'll be rubbing shoulders with. She will, however, be the one he shares the stage with, in a duet of Patsy Cline's "Crazy" as promotion for Juliette's movie no doubt!
6. Wheels Up! - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
The last we saw of Luke Wheeler, he was flying away from Nashville with Juliette Barnes in tow. We wonder how Rayna will feel about him stealing her most popular artist out from under her? Though he's back stage at Juliette's performance in this photo, we hope we see him rocking out on stage soon!
7. Luke & Steven - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
We all know that Luke is considered "old country" in terms of how long he's been in the business, so we're pretty sure he's the one who hooked Juliette up with her super star duet partner. These two look mighty chummy! Looks like we'll also get to see some of Steven Tyler's acting abilities!
8. Luke Smiles - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
It looks like it's all smiles on Luke's little bandwagon of stars, and why shouldn't it be? Juliette's career is on the mend, Luke's got himself a brand new famous artist on his label, and Steven Tyler is in the house! If you ask us, that makes for one really awesome night at the rodeo!
9. Gunnar Back Stage - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Looks who else has decided to join the party! Gunnar was last seen almost making out with Scarlett on the roof of the hospital, but now he's rubbing shoulders with all our other favorites back stage. We sometimes forget how tight Luke and Gunnar are (as songwriter and performer), but we can just imagine how star-struck he'll be meeting a legend like Steven Tyler.
10. Rayna Spotted! - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
We've spotted Rayna, and she smiling! Does this mean we can assume Deacon pulled through surgery just fine? After all, we don't think Rayna would be out and about – let alone smiling in the lime light – if the love of her life had just died on the operating table. Come on, just tell us Deacon is alive already!
11. Juliette Drinks - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Toasting with champagne is usually a party trick for celebrating, but Juliette doesn't seem to be in a very celebratory mood. There go those post-partum depression hormones again! With so much success coming her way, it seems inconceivable that she'd be sad, but she also just lost Avery and her baby girl.
12. Layla & Juliette - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Layla and Juliette seem like two peas in a self-destructive pod sometimes, so we're excited to see these two divas pair up again. Hopefully Juliette can relate some sage advice to Layla about toxic influences (we mean you, Jeff!) and how best to get them out of your life.
13. Rayna v. Juliette - Nashville Season 4 Episode 1
Remember how Juliette signed a contract with Rayna's label? Remember how Juliette then went totally crazy and signed with Luke when her post-partume depression was making her furious with Rayna? Yep, we do! That's a recipe for disaster, and you can bet these two are going to argue it out in the premiere!
