Nashville Recap: ‘I’ve Been Down That Road Before’

#famous

Elevators! Twitter! Airhorns! These are some of the nouns that play prominent roles in last night’s Nashville! Read on to find out why...

Red Lips/White Lies

Rayna’s performance. She is singing about a highway. There is an old dude on pedal steel. There is a jug band in the corner, eking out a rhythm. Her short skirt is made of burlap. A telegram is delivered. Cars are made of solid American steel. Everyone starts referring to R&B as “race music.” Norman Rockwell rises from the grave and paints Rayna’s portrait. It is quite the traditional country hoedown.

Juliette’s performance. There are lights. There is smoke. There are fireworks. There are backup dancers galore. There is a hologram of Marie Antoinette doing the Charleston. 10,000 doves dyed in neon hues are released into the crowd. Prince Harry beams in via satellite and announces that there is free ecstasy under everyone’s seat. It is quite the spectacle.

What a study in contrasts, this is!
