Pop superstar Christina Aguilera has joined the cast of Nashville in a guest starring role that will last over a few episodes. She plays a former love interest of Jeff Fordham, the former President of Edgehill Records. Since Aubrey Peeples character, Layla, is involved with Jeff on a business and personal level, she got to spend a lot of screen time with Christina and she says, “Her name is Jade St. John and she’s basically an ex-flame of Jeff’s, but most of her scenes were with me and with Oliver (Hudson), and so I felt super honored and so excited and nervous to get to work with her. But her character’s story line is basically woven around Jeff and Layla’s and she’s so nice and we had a blast.”
Aubrey was a fan of Christina’s before she appeared on the show and she says, “I’ve always had so much respect for her, just because there’s no one who can sing like her, and so having her on the show is like, I feel like, a huge compliment. When I first heard that she wanted to be involved I was just blown away. I was like, I get to be on a show where people like that wanna be involved.”
New episodes of NASHVILLE return to ABC on Wednesday, March 16th.
