Last night was one of the best nights of my life! I went to a Hunter Hayes' concert in New Orleans with some friends (shoutout to Jade and Kim)! I got to do a meet and greet, which I have been waiting to do for over three years now! To be able to talk to him and get a little bit of an insight into his life was something spectacular. He was so thankful for everyone coming out and for all of the returners to his concert (myself a 4th timer). To be able to meet him and have conversations with him were phenomenal. Some people probably think I am just some crazed fan, but if you knew this guy, you would understand. When I bought my ticket in September, I couldn't even fathom making it to December 4th and this was before everything got really crazy. I am so thankful to be able to have these adventures in life. And on top of it all, to have this experience with the girls I did was unbelievable. Last night, I had more fun that I could have ever thought possible. I laughed until I cried (something I haven't done in a very very long time). The memories I made will not soon, if ever, be forgotten.
The concert itself was spectacular! We had early entrance so we (thanks to Jade and Kim patiently waiting) were able to be dead center up against the stage. The Railers were the first opener and they had a ton of energy. Next, were Dan + Shay. I fell in love with these guys when I saw Hunter in April and they were his first openers. I knew all of their songs and they even sang right to me on multiple occasions. Dan threw me the pick he used to play with after they were done with their set. I have tickets to see them at The Varsity, here in Baton Rouge in March and I couldn't be more excited. Hunter came on and played the longest set he said that he has ever played. He is one hell of a musician. He played multiple guitars (electric and acoustic), the piano, the drums, all while singing and running around on stage. He even played a song from his album "Songs about Nothing" that was released years ago before he had a record deal. Me, being the crazed fan that I am, know every song on that album. He introduced the song by saying this song is so old and none of you are going to know it but I have always wanted to play it in this venue. Only one other fan and myself (that I could see) knew the song and we were belting our lungs out. I was on the the large video screens twice! I was singing straight to the camera and even blew a kiss during the song Love Makes Me which was also when I was on the big screens at one of his other concerts. After it was all over, I got a pick from Matt (the bassist in Hunter band). And yes, I do know all of the names of the guys in Hunter's band. Overall, I could not have been more pleased with my experience from last night. At the bottom of this post are some of my favorite pictures of the night!
Until next time,
