English singer/songwriter Kate Nash has been very busy since her music career took off in 2007, following the release of her debut album Made of Bricks, playing sold-out shows in several world tours. Now, MTV's Artist to Watch is back on tour with the newest music from her third album, Girl Talk, which she dropped earlier this month.
There's no doubt that someone who has seen the world so many times over would know the very best spots for food, nightlife and rowdy audiences. When MTV News caught up with Nash, she shared stories of her favorite touring experiences by unveiling the winners of the "Kate Nash Awards." The awards, by no means official, are the singer's picks for the best cities for certain aspects of touring. Check out the video to hear Nash's funny and charming stories behind each pick.
Without further ado, here is the full list of winners:
