Thanks to Jeffrey, Mallory, Breanna, Whitney, Lauren, Jessica, Nikki and Nicole!

NICOLE & BRITTANY’S NASHVILLE HIGHLIGHTS

Fanclub Party – AMAZING. Carrie sang all the songs beautifully and we all had a blast! We got front row and I actually had a sign I worked on while we were in line, and held it up while Carrie was singing and SHE READ IT! She was so cute, she didn’t have her glasses so she couldn’t see it but I got up so she could and she got up as well. My friend Nicole, who was sitting behind me, actually got a video of it and my reaction LOL. Click here to watch it!

Grand Ole Opry Shows – Carrie was phenomenal, as always! We all got to run up to the stage and kneel down right in front of her which was awesome! The second show, Brittany and I actually missed the whole thing besides Carrie since we were waiting by the gates to meet her haha. Which we did! Carrie came by and signed autographs/took pictures and we were both SO starstruck and excited! She said she felt like she was in prison ha ha!

Celebrity Softball Game – This is going to be long ha ha. We had seats right by Carrie’s dugout for the game, so we had a really good chance of meeting her again! She signed for everyone, more than any other celeb there and she also hit a double as you know! That was awesome! Also, thanks to my mom’s friend, I got chosen to play in a game! I didn’t even know what I was playing for, but I wasn’t going to lose in front of Carrie and all those other celebrities. Instead, I made a complete fool of myself in this game and everyone was calling me an animal because I was like.. crawling LOL but whatever, I won! And I made the news ha ha. My friend Brittney recorded the entire thing, Click here to watch it! The really nice ladies who signed us up for the game let me and her mom stay on the field to try and meet Carrie. And we did, she came by, she’s the best! Also, if you guys didn’t know, I made the Team Carrie shirts some of the Fanclub members were wearing at the game, so I told Carrie and showed it to her and she said they were awesome and signed it!! Brittany also met Carrie as she came by to their side, which was awesome!

Fan Signing – Right after the softball game we drove straight to the Nashville Convention Center and lined up for Carrie’s autograph signing the next day. We met so many awesome people and played Carrie music all night. There were tents set up in case of rain, it was great ha ha. When they finally let us in, it was madness. We really hope that next year they plan this all out better because so many people got hurt. But we eventually got our passes for the Sony Booth and looked around for a little bit then got in line. Brittany met Carrie and told her about the site! ;D Carrie said she knows about it but hasn’t visited in a while. I was next and Carrie said, “It’s so nice to see you again!” and my jaw seriously dropped. I couldn’t believe Carrie remembered who I was ha ha! After meeting her again, we didn’t know what to do so we walked around to possibly look for passes for the Opry Booth. And luckily, Brittany found someone so we got 2 passes! We got in line for the next signing and there was a moment of panic when Brittany couldn’t find her ticket, but then she found it in her pocket! I was first this time, and got up to Carrie and she was like “Hey again!” ha ha! I thanked her for doing so much for all of us this week with the Fanclub Party and then the Softball Game, Opry Shows and now the signing. And that it really meant a lot to everyone that she was dedicating so much time for the fans! Brittany was next, and Carrie remembered her as well! She was probably wondering how we got the 2nd passes LOL. After the convention center we were sort of depressed because all of the Carrie-events that week were over. But we seriously had the best days of our lives! It’s really incredible what Carrie does for all of us, and it’s such an honor to be a fan of hers! THANK YOU CARRIE!

I’m a little late on updating this, but during CMA Fest week, Nicole and I met up with a friend of ours, Elanor, who brought down this amazinggg portrait of Carrie that she drew! She gave it to Carrie at her convention center signing and I decided to take a photo of her holding it to showcase on the site. I personally think it’s incrediable, as did many other fans who were able to see it. You can view an HQ photo of her holding the drawing by accessing the gallery link posted below!

Hey guys! I just uploaded some professional photos from Carrie’s Convention Center signing during CMA Fest! There are some hq’s included!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, we know Carrie has been doing A TON of stuff with CMA Fest Week. Brittany and I were actually in Nashville for all of it! Our internet was so slow at the hotel though, so we weren’t able to update with anything. I’ll be looking back and posting some news we missed while we were gone, and then we’ll get to posting our photos/reviews from our Carrie-filled week so keep checking back!

The first-ever Guitars of the Stars Benefit Auction held live outside the Ryman Auditorium Friday, June 12 raised $40,000 for the Opry Trust Fund, which has for more than 40 years assisted members of the country music community in need.

Grammy-winning Opry member Steve Wariner kicked off the event by showcasing his guitar prowess with a tune from his upcoming project, STEVE WARINER, C.G.P., MY TRIBUTE TO CHET ATKINS. Wariner also served as celebrity auctioneer alongside GAC-TV and 650 WSM radio personality Bill Cody, who was the event’s emcee.

In the foreground are guitars waiting to be auctioned, including a camouflage guitar painted by Craig Morgan and a “guitar of many colors” contributed by Dolly Parton. The Parton guitar alone raised $7,000 for the Trust Fund, while a guitar designed by Carrie Underwood brought in the highest bid at $9,000.

A guitar contributed by Wariner is among several items available in an online component of the Guitars of the Stars Auction currently running at opryauction.com. Wariner hand-painted the guitar which includes hand-drawn sketches depicting his music career, including nods to influences including Atkins, Minnie Pearl, Charley Pride, Dottie West, and others.

By the time Marty Stuart’s Late Night Jam at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium ended at 2:00 AM Thursday, a line of fans was already snaking around the downtown convention center, a few blocks away. Most of the bleary-eyed people were in line to see Carrie Underwood, who will sign autographs today from 1:00 – 5:00 PM in the Greased Lightning Fan Fair Hall during CMA Music Fest.

Many of the fans chose to sit or stand alongside the convention center building, but a few were more prepared. There was one pop-up tent in case of rain, while other fans brought chairs, blankets and rain gear. A few thought about food, but some will rely on concerned friends to drop by with a picnic lunch.

In addition to signing autographs, Underwood has an exhibit opening at the Country Music Hall of Fame today, “Carrie Underwood: All-American Girl.” Among the items on display is the singer’s dress that she wore at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May.

GRAND OLE TIME
Carrie Underwood scores yet another hit during the 19th Celebrity Softball Challenge at Nashville’s Greer Stadium on Wednesday.
