Video Leave a comment

Congratulations to Kelsea Ballerini for winning the ACM Award for New Female Artist Of The Year! The New Artist winners were announced earlier but it was during Ballerini’s set at ACM Party For A Cause that she received her award! She was thankful it wasn’t on the show because they would have gotten an “ugly cry.”

The tears were flowing as Ballerini struggled to be able to speak after the shock of it all. This is Ballerini’s first time being nominated and winning an ACM Award. She recalls attending last year, just to watch and winning has meant so much to her.

ACM Party For A Cause Headliner, Carrie Underwood surprised the crowd a few times Friday night, but she also received a surprise of her own! Underwood was presented with the ACM Lifting Lives Gary Haber Award and gave an emotional speech upon doing so.

It was announced prior that Underwood would be receiving it as a special award, but she didn’t expect to receive it during her set at ACM’s PFAC. She got emotional even after when she was singing “Jesus Take The Wheel.” She wiped tears from her eyes and couldn’t get the words to come out. Thankfully for Underwood, the crowd knew all the words and they sang along for her!

2nd Annual ‘Party For A Cause’ Recap- April 2014

Leave a comment

The 2nd Annual Party For A Cause Festival was just as fun as the first! This year was wonderful for me because I was able to enjoy the performances as well as meet the talent! It was wild, they would perform and then sometimes right after come over to meet the fans. I mean, how great is that?!

The first person I got to see was one of my favorites, Charlie Worsham! He was also at the 1st annual PFAC.

I got to watch him perform as he got things kicked off for the first day!

I saw many other great performers that weekend like Love and Theft!

There was even a set up red carpet to take pictures with artists as well! Brett Eldredge, Will Hoge, Austin Webb and Tyler Farr were there!

It was a jam packed two days and I can’t believe how many amazing artists took the time to be there and meet all the fans! Cassadee Pope was there again for a second year, Danielle Bradbery, Randy Houser, Leah Turner, Eastin Corbin,  and Chase Rice! WOW!

After two days of jam packed music I headed over to the ACM Awards and got to meet more amazing artists on the red carpet! My Favorites! Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift!

What a weekend! Cannot wait for the fourth annual celebration, April 1-3!

Leave a comment

Woah, what?! Nick Jonas and Kelsea Ballerini are performing together on the ACM Awards?! Nick Jonas is everywhere! He seems to like to be dipping his toes in the country/pop scene. He tweeted out he would be joining Country Music’s rising star on the awards show and sent everyone into a frenzy! We love these collaborations!

 

Ballerini quote tweeted Jonas and said “See You Soon”

 

Ballerini is making her way to Vegas, accompanied by Dancing With The Stars alum Derek Hough. At least we are assuming they are headed to Vegas since Ballerini is performing later this week! The two were in Nashville according to Hough’s repost of the photo!

Ballerini will be performing Thursday night in Henderson, Nevada and Friday at the ACM Party For A Cause Festival. It’s going to be one fun weekend!!
