Chris Young would love to be out touring right now but because of the pandemic, it's not going to happen this summer; like many other country artists, he canceled his tour.

Chris told us, "I know there’s a lot of different ways that people are looking at trying to make their show work in the perimeters that we’re kind of given right now. But I got to a point where I was like ‘Hey, we’re going to cancel this summer tour so that people aren’t constantly going ‘Is it going to happen? Is it not going to happen?'"

He added, "As much as I want to get back to work, there’s a lot of people that fall under that category right now. And, a lot of people that probably can’t afford to buy a ticket to a show right now. So, I think the best thing for safety and for everything else that’s going on, is to just cancel it and wait it out and just see where it is. I’m kind of waiting and trying to get a little bit more time before we really see what’s going to work for safety for everybody because that’s the most important thing."

In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
