Fans packed against the front barricade in anticipation for one of country’s newest singers, Cassadee Pope on Saturday, March 29. But before fans could see her, Sam Hunt got on stage to warm up the crowd.

Hunt is known for writing the controversial song “Cop Car” by Keith Urban, but still set himself apart from the song.

Since it was a country music concert, he played excerpts from classic country songs such as “Meet in the Middle” by Diamond Rio and “Fishing in the Dark” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He even sang “Cop Car,” to keep with the country theme.

He also sang more contemporary songs such as “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan.
He also sang some of his original songs, such as “Break Up In A Small Town” and “House Party” where he got very personal with the audience while sitting on stage and even getting off and interacting with some people.

After a quick set change, the anticipated act of the night got up on stage.

Pope first greeted the crowd quickly and jumped into her first two songs “Proved You Wrong” and “Cinematic,” both off her new album, “Frame by Frame.”

She then addressed the crowd, thanking them for having her, as well explaining that she never went to college so this was the closest she was going to get to get.

She then sang “Champagne” and “Everybody Sing,” encouraging the crowd to sing along.
She also sang, “Easier to Lie,” which she explained was about trying to tell a significant other that he or she cheated, but could not because they could not stand to hurt the significant other.

She then prefaced, “You Hear a Song” by saying she hoped everyone had someone in his or her life that could see good in him or her.

After this, she commented to the crowd that, since her album recently came out, she does not usually expect the crowd to know her songs, so she was impressed by the fact the crowd knew most of the songs and was happy to hear them singing along.

She then sang a cover of “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” by Shania Twain as well as “One Song Away” and “Wish I Could Break Your Heart,” which she put in a plug to vote for her music video for the CMT Hot 20 music video countdown.

She then sang “11,” a song that explains her feelings as a child when her parents were going through a divorce.

She then sang “This Car,”saying it was the last song and exiting off stage soon after.
But the crowd had not heard the song she was most famous for and were confused. She then came back on and sang “Wasting All These Tears” as well “Good Times” thanking everyone once again before hopping off stage.
