Biography | Hayden Panettiere — CMA Awards Red Carpet at Bridgestone Arena, 1 November 2012

On 1 November 2012 Hayden Panettiere walked the red carpet at the 46th annual Country Music Association Awards held at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. The arena sits at 501 Broadway. She appeared as a presenter alongside her Nashville co-star Connie Britton. The event came three weeks after the series premiere of Nashville on ABC on 10 October 2012. Panettiere played Juliette Barnes, the rising country-pop star whose rivalry with Rayna Jaymes drove much of the early drama. Her performance later earned two Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actress. The CMA Awards appearance marked a public intersection of her new television role with the real Music City industry the series portrayed.
