Even though the last day of CMA Fest topped out at 109 degrees, CMA Fest was still in full swing. We spent our day at the Taylor Swift meet n’greet, Riverfront Park, and LP Field. The 4 day party was coming to and end.
At Riverfront Park, we saw Jo Dee Messina and Uncle Kracker. It was obvious that the heat was starting to get to people…especially the artists. But, Jo Dee took it in stride and sang songs old and new. She has a great way with the crowd, and got them involved with a sing-a-long contest with “I’m Alright.” She gave away 1,000 copies of her latest album to fans, and handed out even more after her set.
Uncle Kracker has dipped his toes in country music on and off with Kenny Chesney and his latest song “Smile.” However, there was no smiling yesterday at Riverfront. He literally looked as if he was going to pass-out from the heat. He sang “Smile,” “Drift Away,” and “Follow Me.”
LP Field was holding nothing back on it’s last night. Justin Moore, Kellie Pickler, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Darius Rucker, and Brad Paisley were on the line-up for the final night. Kellie Pickler rocked the big-stage in a red mini dress and some high sparkly heels.
My favorite of the night by far was Blake Shelton. Blake, looking hot in more ways than one, performed a great set of “Ol’ Red,” “She Wouldn’t Be gone,” and “Kiss My Country Ass.” For a special treat, Miranda Lambert joined Blake on stage for a stunning version of “Home.” Stealing sweet glances up at each other the entire time, Blake and Miranda sounded amazing. The obvious highlight of his set was “Hillbilly Bone.” Trace Adkins came out to sing the rowdy party anthem, and LP Field LOVED it!
Trace was next on the list. He really kept the crowd up and moving with “Swing,” Hot Mama,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” and “You’re Gonna Miss This.” I thought LP Field was gonna blow when he started singing “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.” Next up, Darius Rucker proved his country side when he sang “Alright,” “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” and a phenomenal version of “Purple Rain.”
Always a crowd favorite, Brad Paisley shook the stadium the last night of LP Field. He sang his hits “Welcome to the Future,” “Water,” and “American Saturday Night.” Brad was joined on stage by Chuck Wicks, Justin Moore, and Darius Rucker for a rowdy version of “Alcohol.”
We want to personally thank Chevy for sponsoring our trip with great tickets, and we’ll be giving away some great Chevy merchandise really soon! We also want to thank CMA for putting on such a great event, helping fans get close to the artists they love. We also want to thank EVERYONE who attended CMA Fest this year. Nashville needed the world to know that we are indeed OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! See y’all next year!
