Backstage on Ellen's set:



This aired on Monday, October 22. I saw him in San Diego on Saturday, October 20. I filmed seven of the eight songs he performed, plus the duet that he sang with headliner Carrie Underwood. My favorite is below; you can find the rest of them on YouTube. (Plus the video I shot at Hunter's May 2012 Portland, OR show.)

New (can I still say that?) Teen Sensation

OK, it's pretty sad when you have to find out about this from the newest issue of your Geico magazine ... considering that it all began back in April when the video below was first posted on YouTube ... but I'll take it:)

Gives me chills. Beautiful to watch.



For some background, watch Greyson's 2 appearances on Ellen, broken up into a few videos:

Yes, I love Taylor Swift. She Votes! :)

Excerpt from this 2008 People Magazine piece:

The 18-year-old country star waited in line in Sumner County, Tenn., for an hour and a half on the last day of the state's early voting period. "I wasn't going to be able to vote on Nov. 4 because I'm going to be in L.A.," she explains. "But there wasn't a chance I was going to let this slip away."

"The line wrapped around the building," she laughs, "but I can honestly tell you that it was worth the wait. I felt like I really accomplished something special. It's like exercising – you think about it and you're like, 'Wow, there's going to be a long line, there's going to be a lot of effort involved,' but afterwards you feel so good."

While she wouldn't tell People who she voted for, I stumbled upon this earlier tonight. Skip to 2:24 minutes.

You are Not Alone.
