Well, things were fast and furious a the live broadcast. Taylor Swift came by in early in the day. She was supposed to be on vocal rest but she wanted to talk to her "radio family" as she told us. She's still the same Taylor, recognizing us by name right away and she's still somewhat that innocent, yet savvy, teen we had in our conference room 3 years ago almost to the day.
The other big highlight of the day was having the chance to talk with Reba McEntire. With all of the accolades, awards and years in this business, she still took the time to talk with us and was as gracious and friendly as ever.
We did find out from the Zac Brown Band that they won't be playing any of their hits for their show performance but they will be play a concert crowd favorite - The Devil Went Down To Georgia. If you've ever seen them perform this, you know how good this is.
The day was capped off by a special, private acoustic performance by, now, red-headed, Kellie Pickler. Just as scattered and funny as ever but you can hear the improvement in her voice. She did an outstanding version of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man". After that, a few of us had the opportunity to have dinner with Kellie. Believe me, what you see on camera is what you get off camera. Funny, thoughtful, scattered and very friendly. She told us that she still isn't sure if she likes her new hair color. Interesting side note - the outfit she had on had a rhinestone barcode on the backside. Interesting to say the least.
Tonight is awards' night and the parties afterward. I'll be sure to fill you in right here.
