A Carrie filled weekend

WARNING: This post will be long, mildly cheesy, and picture heavy....just forgive me!

I know you all read my previous post and know that I saw Carrie Sunday night in Nashville. I then went to Chattanooga on Monday night to see the same show, and I'm so glad I did. I had a BLAST this past weekend. Celia, my sister, and I went to the Nashville show. I didn't have the best tickets...lower level skirt, but I was able to see the "big picture" of the show. I stood, sang, and danced most of the time. Like I said in my previous post, Little Big Town opened for Carrie, and boy are they good! I can't wait to see what else is coming from them. Carrie seemed a little nervous throughout the show, but I found out after that there were many important music business people there that night. She put on a heck of a show even if she was nervous. Like I said previously, the coolest thing about the night outside of the concert was seeing Kellie, Katherine, some of the song writers, and some of the fan club members. Here are a few pictures from Nashville. These are nothing compared to my Chattanooga pics because of my seat location.

This is the only paparazzi like picture that I let myself take of Kellie and Katharine....notice their backs are turned because I didn't want them to see me take it.

Carrie doing her thing!


I know this is a weird picture but the silhouette make her look like a princess.

Now on to Chattanooga...I met up with Cynthia from the fan club around noon on Monday. I had tried to get meet and greets through connections that I had, but to no avail! However, I told Cynthia that I had a feeling that something good would happen to us. She and I decided to go wait by the buses to see if Carrie would come out. For you non Carrie fans...Carrie will sometimes come out and sign or chat depending on many different factors. We stood outside in the COLD for a couple of hours with other fans, and had a blast just hanging out. As we were about to give up hope and freeze to death, Carrie and her bodyguard came walking towards us. There were about 10 of us out there. She signed and chatted a minute before a mob of people headed toward the concert rushed down. I did manage to get my ticket signed and talked to her a second, but didn't get my picture taken because one of the "mob" insisted that her child have a picture taken...oh well! At least I got to meet her again. She is so awesome to do that because she doesn't have to. I think it just shows her appreciation for her fans!

I had second row tickets for the show in Chattanooga. We ended up being able to stand on the front row with a couple of other people I knew. Little Big Town is even more awesome up close. They really engage the audience...especially those standing up and singing along...which of course my section was doing! I even caught a pick that Jami, the guy from Sumiton, threw out into the audience. Let me say again, that they harmonize beautifully!

Then out comes Carrie....WOW....she was relaxed and ready. It is truly an amazing experience being on the front row. She and the band can see you and interact with you. I think her bass player is hot, and she knew it. She told him "I think you have a few fans on the front row." He played it up to us all night! I got MANY amazing pictures from last night, but I will try to only post a few! For those of you who might care, I was able to get the set list taped by her microphone after the show!! What more could I have asked for...I met her briefly, had front row seats, was acknowledged by her, got amazing pictures, hung out with great people, got the set list, and saw an awesome show!! I say this everytime a post about her concert, but if you have never seen her, you need to go. Her tour is ending in a couple of days, but the next time she comes around, you really should go. I promise she won't let you down...and you might even get to meet her and see what a truly sincere person she is. I can't believe it will be a while before I get to see her again, but at least I ended my Carrie concert season on a high note! Enjoy the pictures.

Mark, the bass player that I think is hot!


I have taken so many pictures at the concerts that I've been to that I try to catch her making different faces.






I will leave you with my amateur video of "Go Your Own Way" that she performed with Little Big Town in Nashville. I always love it with the headliner brings out the opener for a song. It always makes for a special moment in the show.
