Brad Paisley Sings “A Marshmallow World”
Brad Paisley brought a bit of country to the night, lighting up the stage in his iconic cowboy hat and singing “Counting Down The Days” followed by a charming rendition of “A Marshmallow World.”
Paisley’s performance comes shortly after the release of his latest Christmas album, Snow Globe Town. The 16-track album, his second holiday LP since Brad Paisley Christmas in 2006, blends eight new songs written by Paisley with classic Christmas favorites.
Paisley is fully embracing the holiday season this year, as he even appears in Hallmark’s newest film, A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, which debuted on November 29.
The film features the country star playing himself, set against the backdrop of Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry.
