The greatest thing about Nashville is taking advantage of what it has to offer. Last night, my roommate and I drove down Belmont Blvd (mentioned many times in my blog) and watched the CMT stars enter the Curb Event Center at Belmont University. After just 20 minutes of standing in the crowd, we saw Miley Cyrus, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Dierks Bentley and many others. Unfortunately, we did not get to see our favorite, Carrie Underwood. But did you see her perform during the award show last night? WOW!

Then, we watched the Nashville Predators defeat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 in game 3 of the first round of the NHL playoffs.

After the game, we decided to stalk the stars again so we stood outside the Curb Center to watch them walking out, but they used a back door. We went to a few of the honky tonk bars downtown, but it turns out the after party was at John Rich's (of Big and Rich) bar downtown and we weren't invited.

Overall, a great Monday night in the city of Nashville.
