Carrie Underwood show at Amalie Arena Saturday night was amazing!  Her tour, called, Denim and Rhinestones Tour is probably the best we've seen all year!

She opened up the show with Good Girl, She sang Ghost Story while being suspended on a swing full of flowers, she then was on a stage with wings that flew around the arena.  Her show is filled with production, lights, costume changes and so much.

Jimmy Allen opened the show and sang a great version of Montgomery Gentry's song "Gone" all while wearing a long silver jacket.  He also busted into some King George and more.
