"Play On"

I just realized I never blogged about this! I can't believe it.

Back in May, the radio stations were announcing that Carrie Underwood was coming to Boise on June 1 to do a show for her Play On tour. I would have loved to go, but I didn't think much of it because it was a Tuesday, especially once I found out I'd start my first day at my new job on the 2nd. But then, Grant sent me an email stating that Carrie was offering a military discount to get tickets for $10 a piece to say thank you to our service members! How could I say no to that?! Tickets at that price went on sale the Saturday before the concert, so I waited and found 2 "okay" seats, but I was fine with it for a total of $33! Grant and I both said being tired at work the next day would be worth it.

We arrived at the concert and found our seats, which were really not that bad at all. We were on the upper level, on the right side of the stage. We actually had a pretty good view. Sons of Sylvia and Craig Morgan opened for Carrie. Sons of Sylvia was an interesting mix of music...I honestly could not figure out if they were bluegrass, country, rock, or what. It was weird. Craig Morgan was really good, to my surprise!

Carrie finally came on and lived up to her amazing-ness!! She is so so talented and sounds just like she does on her records as she does live. She's super sweet and couldn't be any more beautiful. I LOVED the concert and enjoyed myself. And luckily, we didn't have to stand the whole time. :) If I ever had the chance to go to one of her concerts again, I definitely wouldn't hesitate!
She rode around the arena above the crowd in this truck! Super cool.

She wore some awesome shoes throughout the show, by the way. ;)

 Here are some video clips...hopefully they don't take too long to load. Enjoy!
See what I mean about how awesome she sounds live?!?

"Undo It" is probably my favorite song of hers ever! So sad it's blurry.
