This past weekend, MTV News had the pleasure of covering Hangout Music Festival from every imaginable angle — from the audience to the stage, from the water to the sky.
We did shrimp-kisses with Chrissy Teigen and made former Miss Alabama Katherine Webb scream. Macklemore gave us tips about festival food, Kendrick Lamar filled us in on Kanye West’s Yeezus and we unleashed celebrity photo bombs on unsuspecting festival-goers — all in the picture-perfect beachfront setting of Gulf Shores, Alabama. It’s a difficult job, but someone has to do it.
But I wasn’t all fun and games (OK, maybe it was). We learned a lot, too. And like most people, we learned it on Instagram.
Here are the eight lessons we learned about Hangout Festival via Instagram:
