After months of anticipation, Lovin’ Life Music Fest has kicked off in uptown. The three-day festival is expected to take Charlotte by storm (but actual storms, please stay away!).

We’ll be there all weekend, capturing the fans, the food, the celebrity sightings and the musical acts, of course. Stay tuned for Post Malone, Stevie Nicks, Noah Kahan — and maybe if we get lucky, Taylor Swift? She didn’t show up Friday night, and there was a hope she might perform with Stevie Nicks, but as of Saturday morning, that theory wasn’t looking so good, either.

Keep your eyes on this file, and we’ll update our photo gallery as the weekend unfolds. Enjoy the music festival!

[HAPPY THOUGHTS: If you’re hoping Charlotte’s Lovin’ Life Music Fest will fail, then you’re doing it wrong.]
