Lady Antebellum wrapped up the North American leg of their Own the Night tour Saturday night after playing for more than a million fans in 85 cities.  Darius Rucker and Thompson Square were along for the ride, and Lady A feels a whole new level of connection with their fans after this trek.

Band member Hillary Scott says, "It truly felt like we got to know everyone in the arena every night."

The tour was a big growing experience for the members of Lady A too.

"We've definitely become closer as a band -- musically and personally -- over this tour too," says Dave Haywood .  "We are really proud of our show and how much we've grown on stage."

Lady Antebellum heads to Australia and Europe next.  They'll head back into the studio this fall to work on their fourth album.
