Check out Kenzieâs day 2 recapâŠ

âAnother amazing day in Music City!! Today, I had the chance to hang backstage at the Chevy Vibes stage with our very own Elaina D. Smith as she hosted the afternoonâs performances. This stage is right by the Country Music Hall of Fame, and showcases a cool mix of familiar faces & artists that are a bit newer on the scene. We had a PACKED afternoon, with performances from Restless Road, Mark Wills, Josh Gracin, and Nate Smith. Although it was a hot & sticky Nashville afternoon, the crowd was in it for the long haul, and the plaza stayed packed throughout the performances.â
âAfter a break for dinner, I headed back to Nissan Stadium for the eveningâs shows (and somehow found free street parking?! Unheard of in Nashville!) â the Friday night lineup was MASSIVE & packed with special moments. Kelsea Balleriniâs âHole In The Bottleâ brought a ton of energy to the stadium (and her outfit was perfection). Kelsea also shared with the crowd her new single âHEARTFIRST'â
âCole Swindell & Lainey Wilson sounded phenomenal on their number-one âNever Say Never'â
âThomas Rhett brought on the best kind of nostalgia with a medley of some of his early hits, along with his recent hit âSlow Down Summer.'â
âGabby Barrett sounded phenomenal (as always) as she entertained the Nissan Stadium crowd with her current single at country radio, âPick Me Up.'â
âKane Brownâs high-octane headlining set was a ton of fun. His new single âLike I Love Country Musicâ is just as fun live as youâd imagine it would be!â
âBut the highlight of the night for me was Carly Pearce â the Kentuckian brought pure magic to Nissan Stadium as she honored the legacy of Naomi Judd. Fans in the stadium all sat with bated breath as she introduced the next part of her set, wondering what was in store for the performance â the stadium erupted with excitement as Wynonna joined her on stage for âWhy Not Me.â That is a moment of live music I will NEVER forget.â
âWeâre back at it again for Day 3!â
