After two exhilarating days in New York City, SI Swimsuit headed to Nashville and everyone quickly fell in love with the Music City. It was a busy day - video shoots at Katy K. Designs and Bridgestone Arena (with the Nashville Predators) before a Kings of Leon concert and epic after-party. Here's a behind-the-scenes look back at all the action.

After a quick breakfast, I headed outside and ran into Genevieve Morton, who was returning from a radio interview with Frank Wycheck. He gave her a bobblehead. She was psyched.

Our first stop was Katy K. Designs for a shoot with Gigi Hadid and Kelly Rohrbach. It didn't take them long to start shopping.

After Katy K., I headed downtown to check out the tent for the first time. It was impressive.
