Background

Days before the tour started Paisley still didn't have a name for the tour. "You should have seen our trucks--it's 10 white semis", "I'm tempted to take a sharpie and write, 'Brad Paisley World Tour on the front of it", Paisley told Billboard Magazine.[2] Additional dates of the tour were announced in November 2014 and began on January 16, 2015, in Morgantown, West Virginia.[3]

The tour was sponsored by Kraft's Cheese & Dairy Brands. To go along with the sponsor, fans were "able to participate in various Kraft-brand activities" like taking photos in the "Cheese Photobooth" and using props for an opportunity to appear during the show on screen.[2]
