Tara of Nashville got the surprise of her life when CMT host Lance Smith invited her to attend the CMT Flameworthy 2003 Video Music Awards with her favorite artist, Trace Adkins. Tara got superstar treatment with a makeover and shopping spree to prepare for the hottest night in country music before meeting Trace and joining him at rehearsal, where she rubbed elbows with other artists involved in the show. Then, Trace and Tara walked the CMT red carpet and headed inside where they watched the show from the best seats in the house.
