He may not have won Best New Artist at this year’s Grammy Awards, but it’s safe to say Hunter Hayes broke more than a few hearts during his trip to New York earlier this month. The breakout country star made a visit to the VH1 offices for some pre-Grammy interviews with Carrie Keagan on Big Morning Buzz Live and yours truly here at Tuner, as well as performed for several adoring fans throughout New York’s Times Square.
Our fabulous in-house photographer Lauren Weissler was with Hunter during his trek up and down the stairs here at Viacom–just kidding! Our guests can take the elevator–and was able to capture his polite greetings, thoughtful chats, and killer smiles throughout the long but very fruitful day. Enjoy!
