Here's what some of your favorite country music stars had to say about their CMA Music Festival experience:
Quotebook: Heard behind-the-scenes during the 2011 CMA Music Festival:
"You're asking me to do math, which is dangerous. My first Fan Fair was in 1992." -Martina McBride
"It's such an amazing experience being surrounded by 50,000 people who are all singing the same thing. You look out and it's this never ending sea of people for as far as you can see." — Taylor Swift
"Can you sign this for me?" — Clay Walker to Dierks Bentley, who signed a notebook for Walker's daughter.
"My house burned down. I've felt like Rain Man for the last few weeks every time someone asks me a question, 'Trace, what do you want to eat?' 'My house burned down.'" — Trace Adkins
"I have a little video of my daughter's reaction when I sent Jay the picture of me with Justin Bieber. I made a complete fool of myself going up to meet him, but it was so worth it." — Sara Evans who showed press cell phone video of her daughter's reaction.
"The thing that really amazes me is not only the loyalty of the fan but the loyalty of country music back to the fan. You couldn't pull this together in rock n' roll, not so much because of the bands, but the egos of their managers. They'd go, 'Oh, my guy's too big to play that.' But you don't have that here." — Darius Rucker
"Happy birthday to you." — Media singing to Chris Young backstage for his 26th birthday, which was Sunday (6/12)
"These die-hard country fans come from all over the world. It's not just here in the US. It's the least we could do. We love going and signing and seeing familiar faces and being able to look them in the eyes and say thank you." — Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott
