It's ACL Fest Weekend 2, Day 2! 💃

Listen up, ya basic bish! Dua Lipa is gracing the stage RIGHT NOW! 💁‍♀️ I may be biased, but the pop queens are slaying this festival! 🌟

Oh, and check this out! Chris Stapleton brought out the legendary Willie Nelson for "Whiskey River" last night! If you missed it, don't say I didn't warn you. Just watch our video on Instagram or TikTok! 🤠 Oh, and we created an artist trivia to test festivalgoers. Take the quiz yourself, see if you're as woke as you think you are! Here's the video. Let's see your score, nerds! 🎵

Today was also the Red River Rivalry, aka one of college football's big games between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners. 🏈 Yeah, because who needs a music festival when you can watch grown men crash into each other? Every year, the Big Tent is packed with fans watching the game instead of, you know, the actual festival. 📺🍻 But hey, it's a great place to cool off and grab a drink, so stop by if you're at ACL Fest.

Only one more day left of this festival, folks. If there's anything you want to see more of, shoot me an email at kchang@gannett.com or DM me on TikTok, @kiannachang or Instagram, @kiannaaa. 🥰 And don't forget to follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Instagram, X, and Facebook.
