THOMAS RHETT

If you’re lucky enough to attend Thomas Rhett’s Home Team tour, one thing about his getup might surprise you — he no longer wears cowboy boots on stage. Because his show is so energetic, Thomas ditched the boots for some comfy sneakers to make it easier to move around. As a country star, he says this wardrobe transition was absolutely “terrifying.” (Billboard)

The change did spark a bit of an obsession, however, and now Thomas can’t even count the number of sneakers he buys each year.

ZAC BROWN BAND

Zac Brown Band helped close out the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo over the weekend, but not before their lead singer went on a bit of a shopping spree. Zac, his wife, Shelly and four others, put together a winning bid of $330,000 for a steer named “Magic.”

The 16-year-old boy who showed the steer will make $40,000 to $45,000 off Zac’s purchase.

BRETT YOUNG

Brett Young made the move from California to Nashville three years ago, and although he loves living in Music City, he hates that he’s totally landlocked. While there are several lakes in the area, the closest beach is in Florida and nearly a seven-hour drive away.

Brett Young talks about being landlocked in Nashville. “No, I’m not one of these people that can figure out a way to make the lake feel the same as the beach. It’s totally not. And there are fun things to do on the lake, but that doesn’t feel like home to me. When I get down to Florida, it feels like home.”
