Brantley Gilbert’s very unique and painful gift for fans, Shaboozey’s Met Gala debut | Music City Minute

May 8, 2025, 5:28 PM

I have been to a lot of concerts, and I have seen folks doing some pretty crazy things. However, those experiences don’t compare to a person getting tattooed in real time at a concert. “How would you pull that off?” You might be wondering. Well, Brantley Gilbert’s “Tattoos” tour is in full swing, and fans can register to win a free tattoo from Gilbert’s personal artist, Carl Grace. The winning fan is seated behind the soundboard and inked in front of the live audience while the “Bottoms-Up” singer rocks-out on stage.
Very few people could pull off Shaboozey’s style. He is often wearing the most unique outfits, and he did not disappoint at his Met Gala debut earlier this week. The dress code for the event was called Tailored For You, which was meant to highlight museum’s 2025 spring exhibition,Superfine: Tailoring Black StyleThe “Good News” singer hit the red carpet in a textured black suit with a large bowtie, accentuated with layers of turquoise beads, turquoise in his grill and a wide brim hat. Talk about ‘stylin’ and profilin’!”
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
