Six-time Grammy Award-winning artist T-Pain brought a high-energy set performing a huge catalog of songs including “I’m Sprung”, “Bartender” and “Buy U a Drank.” The Tallahassee native kept the crowd moving with his signature dance moves. Move over Taylor Swift!
GRiZ performed a second time Saturday evening as the sun set behind pine and palmetto trees with a sunset “Chasing the Golden Hour” set at the BE stage, followed by rapper BigXthaPlug hailing from Dallas, Texas, with hits including “Texas” and “Levels,” captivating a massive crowd.
The rapper performed some of his newest country hits that feature artists including Ella Langley and Bailey Zimmerman, both of whom were not in attendance.
