Nashville - Time to Go Home! 😒

Wow, last night's show was another stunner!!! 🤠

The evening kicked off with Sara Evans, who delivered a fantastic performance. 

Carly Pearce followed with hit after hit! 

She also brought out bluegrass legends Ricky Skaggs and Molly Tuttle, sending the crowd into a frenzy. 

Then she really got everyone fired up when Riley Green joined her on stage for a duet. 

Carly was incredibly endearing and genuinely grateful for the support of her fans.

Kaitlin Butts followed on the field stage. She performed two of her hits and was very entertaining. Her song "He Doesn't Have to Die to Be Dead to Me" was hilarious, and we've even heard it getting airplay on country radio.

Next up was Zach Top, and we didn't realize just how many hits he had. We knew all six songs he performed and found ourselves singing right along. What a smooth, classic country voice!

Emily Ann Roberts was next on the field stage. A few years ago, she was a finalist on Blake Shelton's team on The Voice. She was excellent and definitely a rising star to keep an eye on.

Jordan Davis then took over the main stage, and wow, what a talent! It was one hit after another, and he took plenty of time between songs to show his appreciation for his fans.

Jordan was followed by Riley Green interviewing Lainey Wilson just offstage for the upcoming CMA Fest TV special. She is just so darn likable and down-to-earth. 

Then she took the stage and absolutely rocked the house. WOW and WOW—what a performance!

Lainey was certainly a tough act to follow, but Tim McGraw came out to close the night. He was very good, but we felt the music was mixed a little too loudly, which drowned out his vocals at times. The bass was also pounding in our chests a bit more than we would have preferred.

After the show, we were able to catch a taxi back to our hotel, which was a welcome relief for our tired legs!

We had an absolutely wonderful time, and we are now at the airport waiting for our non-stop Delta flight home.

Our next planned blogging adventure will be in mid-October, when we fly to Rome for five days before boarding the Enchanted Princess for a 44-day voyage throughout the Mediterranean, followed by a transatlantic crossing back to Ft. Lauderdale.

Of course, there could be another blog-worthy trip before then, but things are still very fluid. We'll see... 🥸

Thank you for following along and for all the kind emails and messages. We truly appreciate it!

See you soon! 👋
