Tuesday

Over-Tweeting the ACMs (Oops)

I covered the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, and the ACM Girls' Night Out: Superstar Women of Country extravaganza on Monday. I worked both for Us Weekly, meaning I didn't write a story, per se—I didn't even cover the red carpet or the press room; I was assigned to focus on interactions between the celebs during commercial breaks and at other opportune times when the cameras weren't looking.

Since I love, love, love country music, I enjoyed myself immensely, but since Monday night's show was being filmed for TV (it airs on CBS on April 22), there was a lot of downtime between takes. It didn't take long before I got bored. And what do I do when I'm bored? I tweet. Or, should I say, over-tweet.

Do I have any morning-after regret? Kind of. Thankfully, most of my followers on the east coast were already sleeping, so I don't think they cared or even noticed. On the west coast, however, I'm pretty sure I lost a few followers, and pissed even more of y'all off. And for that, I apologize. Still, I've decided to share some snapshots from last night's ACM-centric Twitter stream, since there's no way in hell that these observations will find their way to the glossy pages of Us. 

 

PS: I only had one drink that night. And no, smartypants, it wasn't a double.
 
PPS: I think I deserve a teeny tiny bit of credit for not making any quips about Taylor Swift's notable absence. Jokes about it being after her bedtime, etc. would've been too easy.

PPPS: If you don't already follow me on Twitter, you should. I don't just post stuff about country awards shows, really.
