Stagecoach Breakdown: Did Eric Church Bomb?

Stagecoach went down this weekend and there were some really great moments, and a bit of controversy as well.

Here are the highlights:

1.  The biggest storyline of the weekend was Eric Church’s performance.  He did a stripped-down acoustic set of gospel covers with a full choir.  Problem was, he was headlining, so his set started at 10:00 P.M. on Friday night.

A lot of people were pretty angry and wondering why he ruined the party vibe.  One guy even called it, quote, “career suicide.”  As for Eric, he said, “This was the most difficult set I have ever attempted.”

2.  One of the highlights of the weekend was Post Malone’s set of country covers.  He did a great job, and brought out an all-star guest list.  He was joined by Dwight Yoakam, Sara Evans, and Brad Paisley.

Posty and Brad sang “I’m Gonna Miss Her” and then belted out Vince Gill’s “One More Last Chance”.  On the final song of the set, Brad came back out to play guitar while Posty killed it with Alan Jackson’s classic “Chattahoochee”.

3.   Miranda Lambert brought out Reba McEntire for her finale and the crowd loved it.  They sang “Mama’s Broken Heart”, “Fancy”, and “Gunpowder & Lead”.

4.  Jelly Roll and T-Pain honored Toby Keith with a cover of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”.

5.  And if you were excited to livestream Morgan Wallen’s headlining set last night, you ended the night pretty bummed.  Amazon streamed every other Stagecoach headliner, except for Morgan.
