Brandi Cyrus talks opening for Kenny Chesney at the Sphere in Las Vegas while chatting with THR at the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. She dishes on the collaborative process with Kenny and the Sphere and more.
00:00Coming up, you're opening for Kenny Chesney at The Sphere.
00:03How did you land that amazing gig?
00:06I don't know. I'm asking myself that question.
00:10No, you know, I think Kenny and I have the same booking agent.
00:12And, you know, Kenny is really working so hard to put on such a special show for The Sphere.
00:17I think he really wants to make it unlike any other show he's ever done.
00:20And so for him to have a DJ, I think, is very different, but something he really wanted.
00:24And I'm just so honored that he picked me.
00:26I think he's going to put on an incredible show, I have no doubts.
00:29But I personally am working so hard to create a unique set just for The Sphere and just for Kenny Chesney fans.
00:36And it's going to be unlike any other show I've played.
00:39What's it like designing the experience that fans are going to see in The Sphere?
00:43Are you a part of that process?
00:44Yeah, you know, this is all things we're still figuring out.
00:48But that's what's so exciting about The Sphere is I'm going to get a chance to do things I don't normally get to do, right?
00:52Like visuals are why people go to The Sphere.
00:55Like you want the whole experience.
00:57And I think that what a cool opportunity to not only get to put together an incredible set of music and songs people love,
01:03but then be able to give them something sick to look at on this incredible screen.
01:07Like it's going to be so cool.
01:09So I can't give away anything yet, but it's going to be special and it's going to be amazing.
01:13And you guys got to get your tickets because there's not many left.
01:15We're here at the iHeartRadio Music Awards tonight.
01:18Who's an artist that you listened to on the radio growing up that made you want to work in music?
01:23Oh man, so many.
01:25The thing is I grew up listening to so many different types of music.
01:28Like obviously my dad is a country artist, so we listened to a lot of country, a lot of Shania, Dolly, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Waylon Jennings, Donnie Cash, all that good stuff.
01:38But then as I grew up, I started to listen to hip-hop and pop and rock music.
01:43And so I really have such an eclectic taste because I love it all.
01:46I've been asking people today about Rat Summer was last summer, but what kind of vibes are we manifesting for this summer?
01:52Man, I don't know.
01:55I don't know.
01:56For me personally, I'm going to go Beach Cowgirl Summer because Kenny's whole theme is beach and my whole theme is cowgirl.
02:05So I'm just going to mesh the two, and that's going to be my theme this year.
02:09I love that.
02:10And right now it's spring break time.
02:12What's your go-to vacation spot where you love to go when you do get a break?
02:15Oh my gosh.
02:17You know where I love?
02:18I went last year for the first time.
02:19I love Grand Cayman, the Caymans in the Caribbean.
02:22I live in Nashville, so it's an easy flight.
02:24The Caribbean's so beautiful.
02:26I would say if I had a week to get away, that's where I would go.
