Ah, Nashville.
It’s one of the hottest cities in the country right now, with millions of people visiting Music City every year. And honestly, it’s a pretty incredible place. The live music, the food, the culture – there’s a lot to love about the city, and it’s filled with hidden gems that are off the beaten path.
But sometimes you just have to forget about getting off the beaten path, and just be “basic” as all hell.
And there’s no better city to be your basic AF self in… than Nashville.
Here’s how:
1. Inform everybody on your social media that “Nashville’s not ready for you.”
(Nashville’s ready for you. And Nashville will win. Every. Single. Time).
Girls will go to Nashville and be like “they’re not ready for us” then take pictures on a rooftop for 5 hours

White girls from Indiana be like “Nashville ain’t ready for us!!!🤪🤪” like ya sis I’m sure they ain’t never seen a girl with a cowgirl hat on and high waisted jeans getting hammered

2. Wait in line for three hours to get your picture taken in front of the angel wings mural.
Nature is healing…
