New Management (Maverick)

[Tusk]

Sooo...MAYBE the Troubadour was kind of a "test."

Steven: "How'd she do?"

Maverick: "She crushed it."

Steven: "So you think she's ready?"

Maverick: "She's ready."

Steven: "Then lets do this thing."

And she gets added to open for him with 2 weeks notice.

Or maybe I just dreamt all this. I can live with that dream. Wish I could be there...but there will be video...there will be LOTS of video.

Things are getting fun for our girl!!!

It is possible it happened this way, but I tend to think that things like these often don't happen at the flip of a switch. There's a whole lot of networking and people knowing other people in Haley's circle.

Steven and Dina have been fighting for Song writer rights in DC for at least a couple years, he's very obviously one of Dina's dearest clients/friends. Add to that Dina is Jay's Sister in Law, then the connections become very apparent. Steven's been a very busy man, if you're following his social media, on top of his political activity and performing schedule. They probably just needed to find when they could fit Haley's schedule into Steven's. The stars aligned and a spot opened and Haley took advantage of it . It's pretty awesome that the six months of practical silence at the beginning of the year has born so much fruit for us to enjoy in the second half of 2018

The last time that we know of that Haley and Steven met was a little over 6 months ago, maybe when Haley possibly opening a show for Steven might have been discussed...

@IamStevenT @YO_RANDYJACKSON needed to find @HaleyReinhart #jamforjanie event for @AmericanIdol reunion

Replying to @HaleysTusk @IamStevenT and 2 others
He did hehe! Definitely was a sweet reunion

As far as after the Troubadour (the same day, but 5 hours BEFORE Haley announced opening for Steven), I posted....

.@IamStevenT I'd like to think there's definitely a Steven Tyler influence in ya girl @HaleyReinhart debut performance #ExpensiveTaste (New original) @theTroubadour

So, basically, I'm saying it was likely pending before the the Troubadour show, but it didn't hurt that she really did kick some ass at the Troubadour
