Paparazzi

I will be the first to admit that I am easily star struck. I don't know why I get that way....celebrities are people just like me and you except they make a lot more money! I think they probably put their pants on like you and I...one leg at a time! However, though I am easily star struck, tonight I played it cool and didn't act like the paparazzi. I went to see Carrie Underwood in Nashville tonight. (Pictures and videos will be in the next post because I am seeing her again tomorrow night in Chattanooga!) Between Little Big Town's opening set and Carrie, a guy walked Kellie Pickler and Katharine McPhee less than 5 feet from me. I think he was gonna sit them in seats that were exactly 2 rows in front of me, but Kellie decided to sit in one of the suites versus the seats in front of me. (I think Kellie and Katherine made a smart decision because as the guy walked them back out, tons of people rushed to them to try to get their picture/autograph.) I had my camera in my hand as they stood there making the decision, but I just couldn't bring myself to take a picture of them 5 feet in front of their faces. I just sat there, star struck, but not paparazzi like...you should all be proud! After the concert, I saw some of the songwriters that wrote some of Carrie's number 1 songs...again, I just walked by without interrupting them or snapping a picture!

With that being said, the concert was amazing as usual. Little Big Town is awesome. One of the guys, Jimi, is actually from Sumiton Alabama.....I thought it was pretty neat that a guy from such a small spot in the road in Alabama could be part of an awesome band! They harmonize so beautifully! Carrie, of course, did her thing, and I had a blast. I took Celia with me tonight, so you'll have to get her reaction, but she did say after that she thought that Carrie really could sing! This comes from someone who has rolled her eyes about Carrie since the beginning!

Stay tuned for photos and videos. I got a video of Carrie and Little Big Town performing "Go Your Own Way" together...very nice...you'll have to wait a couple of days to see it!!

I hope you all have a great Monday. I'll be seeing Little Big Town and Carrie again from the second row!! Until then, I hope you play it cool if you run into any celebrities!
