What a night.
I can't even tell you how excited I am. Tonight was SO unbelievable, and I've never had more fun onstage. I've wanted to tell you guys all the little surprises we had planned for the performance for so long! I've dreampt about that performance since I was in middle school. I've always wanted to perform an angry song and have water rain down from the ceiling and have a little freakout onstage. Always wanted to do that. So a few months ago, when I was offered a performance on the ACMs, I had this epiphone: I need to do that rain idea on the ACMs this year!! So we met with the producer of the show in my tour bus and I got a black hoodie and acted out how I was dreaming up the performance. And the Academy of Country Music rules because: they made my dreams come true tonight. I'm about to post the video of it on my page, if you missed it. Oh, and the water was like 40 degrees. So cold.
Honestly I didn't expect to come away with an award, and I have you to thank for all of the things you've done to support me. You're the reason my album is 3x platinum. You're the reason the concerts sell out. You're the reason I'm able to be out here in Vegas. And you're the reason I'm taking home my first ACM Award for Top New Female Vocalist. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I got to pose with Kellie for some People shots after the awards. We posed like we were beating each other up in a huge catfight. Haha. (She was pulling my hair and I was tugging at her dress and trying to push her off me while we both made grimacing faces) It was pretty awesome. I hope they run those shots. hahah. I got to see Heidi Newfeild, who sings one of my FAVORITE songs out right now "Johnny and June". I have a total song crush on that song. Brilliantly written. She's so sweet too. It was such a joy sitting so close to George Strait and his wife Norma. Touring with him was an honor, and every time I get around him, I realize what composure and grace he carries himself with. Nicole Kidman is so incredibly gracious and friendly, and gets the "Most Beautiful in Person" award. Hands down.
I'll write more about the night, and all the things going on soon. I have to get to sleep now though! I'm flying home tomorrow. Can't wait to hear what you guys thought of the night! Love you so much.
