Brad's 2008 Tour Staying "Sweet"

11/9/2007 Stephen L. Betts Newly crowned CMA Male Vocalist Brad Paisley is working out the details of his 2008 tour. One thing he won’t have to worry about is who’ll sponsor it. Backstage during the CMA Awards, Brad revealed that the Hershey candy company, who backed his hugely successful Bonfires and Amplifiers tour, has signed on again for 2008. Brad says the funding from such a sponsorship allows for greater entertainment value for his fans.  In addition, he says that this year he sold 40 percent more tickets than originally anticipated. Brad hasn’t revealed a name for the new tour, and hasn’t said which additional acts will join him this time. Two of his 2007 tour mates, Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler, joined him on stage at the CMAs during his performance of the award-winning “Online.”
