Friday evening’s star studded show was kicked off with an opening performance by Rhett Akins, Thomas Rhett’s father. Following Akins was Russell Dickerson who ignited the stage with his dance moves and brought the audience alive with his hit “Blue Tacoma”. Dickerson sang some of his popular songs such as “Every Little Thing” and “Yours”. Following Dickerson was America’s favorite cowboy, Dustin Lynch. Lynch started his set with “Seein’ Red” and touched the hearts of fans with his “Cowboys and Angels” tribute to his Grandma and Grandpa.
Finally, the “Star of the Show”, Thomas Rhett, graced the stage with his hit song “Look What God Gave Her”. Rhett’s energy on stage was electric. The crowd sang their hearts out to fan favorites— “Die A Happy Man” and “T-Shirt”.
Rhett’s performance “blue” up the Enterprise Center on Friday night. The country singer took to Instagram and encouraged his fans to wear Blues gear to celebrate the Stanley Cup Champions. He even went to the extent of bringing some of the NHL players on the stage. Jaden Schwartz shared a few words and was accompanied by Colton Parayko and a couple other teammates. Akins, Dickerson, and Lynch all surprised the crowd by coming back on stage to join Rhett wearing personalized blues jerseys. The artists raised a toast to the crowd in honor of St. Louis’s Stanley Cup win.
