After spending much of her professional life having in-depth conversations with the stars you love she's finally sharing the fascinating kinds of stories that didn't make it into her actual stories. The ones where she and Lee Brice got kicked out of a Vegas bar or when she got to know Blake Shelton in the lobby of a Holiday Inn or how she almost died after a Luke Bryan interview or the night she accidentally had dinner with Kid Rock or shared Skinny Bitches with Miranda Lambert's parents or walked inside the ropes with golfer John Daly or got subpeonaed by Sara Evans' ex-husband or the one about the living hell she went through when she dared to not love a Beyonce song. Those are just a few of the tales she has to tell after spending close to two decades making a living out of loving country music. No one else can tell these stories because no one else has lived them and chronicled them quite like Bonaguro who is a consistent and prolific voice within Nashville media circles.</span></p>
