The Grand Ole Opry is the “home” of country music in Nashville. I could go there with backstage passes and an opportunity to go behind the stage with Jelly Roll and others who sang on stage. The band playing right in my face and seeing the behind-the-scenes the whole time was fantastic.

Broadway Street has many bars, restaurants, vendors, and boot barns. Every time I walked down the street, I saw something new and new people to meet. I have never met so many lovely people willing to help and want to party! Inside the bars, they were always filled with color and live country music. 

At the Country Music Festival, we were front and center. The main event was at the Nissan Stadium, where we were row 2 with the pit in front of us. I felt like I could almost touch the stage. The lights were blinding, red, blue, green, and so many more colors shinning on the crowd and the artist. The music was blaring.

Being at the CMA’s felt like a dream, and one of the best parts was meeting artists I have listened to forever. I met Dylan Scott, Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, and more! All of these artists were so kind, and seeing them perform live right in front of me was a feeling I can’t explain. I got a picture with each of them, which I know I will hold close to my heart forever.
