One Tree Hill alum, Jana Kramer was the third performer at ACM’s Party For A Cause festival that took place April 1, 2016 in Las Vegas. While running around trying to see everyone, we managed to get some photos and a video of her performing “Boomerang.”

WATCH JANA KRAMER PERFORM “BOOMERANG” AT ACM PARTY FOR A CAUSE
If you’ve been following this site for the last few years, you will know that over at Variety Beat, we are huge Kelleigh Bannen fans! It was so exciting to see Bannen perform at ACM Party For A Cause! Bannen was the very first performer of the festival and she set the tone right away with a song called “Welcome To The Party,” which was very fitting!
I do have to say, being in the front for the performance, made the sound quality a little off, but for those die hard fans who need a taste of new music, we have you covered! Keep reading for more videos and photo galleries!

Bannen also debuted some new songs and did a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Drink You Away.”
Nine hours to the closest beach? That sounds terrible! Thankfully for those of us near water, we don’t have to worry about that! But this fun song about it being damn hot and being “Landlocked” sure is fun!
Bannen also performed a couple of her past singles including “Smoke When I Drink” and she closed with “Famous.” Of course we were too busy dancing to record any of that! Don’t worry, we did get a video of a new song called “All Good Things.” Bannen will hopefully be able to tell us about some “good things” happening in her life, music wise soon!
It was a great day as we got to start and end our day with Bannen! Headliner, Carrie Underwood (gallery coming soon), brought out Bannen along with Lauren Alaina, Kellie Pickler and Jana Kramer to sing her hit song “Before He Cheats.”

Found myself on there!
One day of seeing my fav was also not enough so we got to catch up the following day for a little bit! It’s so wonderful to find people so down to earth and genuine! That’s what connects us to each other!
Bannen also attended the 51st Annual ACM Awards and we ran into each other again! BFF status!

Until next time! 😘
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.”
Embed from Getty ImagesThe 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!

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!
Been working on something special for Sunday and now it’s official… I’m joining @KelseaBallerini for a duet at #ACMs on CBS. Don’t miss us!

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!
