Carrie Underwood fan club party

I am in Nashville for the week to spend a lot of time with my country music "friends". Today I attended Carrie's annual fan club party. You may make fun of me if you wish, but I had a blast! Carrie did a 10 song set of songs that she rarely performs including Alone, How Great Thou Art, Sweet Child of Mine, Voices Carry, Stand By Your Man, and Home Sweet Home...just to name a few. She then did a question and answer session, and ended with a give away section for those who could finish her lyrics....in which she started a song or verse, a capella I might add, then had some of the audience finish. My friend, Danielle, won the grand prize! I love these parties because I feel like we get to see a little bit of who Carrie truly is and not just performance Carrie. She is truly very humble and appreciative of those who work hard for her along with being hilarious! Here are a few pictures from the party. For all of my photography friends...I had to take them in automatic because I couldn't get manual to work for me no matter what I did...don't judge the quality of my pictures on this post!! ;)

Question and answer session. You can see CMT's Lance Smith in the background. He was the host for the party.






My friend Danielle gets a hug from Carrie after she won the grand prize.


They had a display of some of Carrie's many awards. This is one of her Grammys.


There was also a display of some of the clothes she wore in some of the videos. This is the "Before He Cheats" outfit.


Lots more excitement to come...stay tuned!

Oh my gosh...that is about the coolest thing I have ever seen! I didn't know stuff like that existed! Enjoy the rest of the week (as if you couldn't!)

p.s. What was the grand prize?

The grand prize was round-trip airfare, hotel, 2 VIP meet and greets and 2 tickets to Carrie's concert in Chicago in August.
