LP Field || Pure Awesomeness

**Read Part 1 Here** 

 

Later Thursday evening my dad and sister met up with Brett and me in Nashville for the best part of CMA - the LP Field concerts!  I had butterflies the whole walk over the bridge and up to our seats.  I was soooooo excited!

 

I can't remember how it happened, but I handed a complete stranger my new camera so we could have a group photo with all 4 of us.  Me.  Miss "I'm the only one allowed to touch this camera".  I have no clue why - blame the butterflies - but I'm really glad to have this photo!  One of the first things I learned from a photography instructor was that you need to learn how find balance between getting that "special photo" and the risk of not wanting to damage your camera.  Her example involved a rainy night in Italy, but mine seemed equally as important.  :)   Either way, our stranger did an awesome job taking this photo and my camera is still in one piece.

It was a *very* last minute decision to go to CMA Fest.... and our seats say it all... we were WAYYY up high!   It was really hard to get good photos, so I'm glad the mega screen was there!

Taylor ended her set singing the first verse of her song "Tim McGraw".... then she called Tim McGraw out on stage with her to sing Highway Don't Care - The. Crowd. Went. Wild.!!!!  (Including me ;-) )  If you look reallllllly close you can see Tim on the stage...

Ok, I have a confession - I didn't like Hunter Hayes before CMA.  To me he was just a country version of Justin Bieber.  Boy, was I wrong!  This guy is SUCH a true artist!  He put on a better show than Taylor and was one of my favorites from all 4 nights!  I'm definitely a fan now!

When Hunter sang "I Want Crazy" everyone stood up and started dancing.  The whole upper section started shaking and moving... fun? yes. scary? ohhh yes. ;-)

Lady Antebellum put on a very fun show!  It was really neat to be able to hear the "full versions" of the acoustic songs that we heard earlier at Fan Fair!
