- Chris Stapleton took to social media yesterday to share that singing the National Anthem at last year’s Big Game was a career highlight. He also wished everyone in the game this Sunday good luck, as well as Reba who is singing the anthem this year.
- Speaking of Reba, this year marks the 50th anniversary of her being discovered while singing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in 1974. And talking with her she shared how honored she is to get to sing it at the Big Game:
- Nate Smith’s “World On Fire” is still on a hot streak. He’s now been on top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart for 8 weeks. Only three other songs have held the spot this long, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”, Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet’s “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and Lonestar’s “Amazed”. Plus no other artist has spent more week’s at #1 on this chart with their first two career singles.
