Rascal Flatts and Ella Langley honor country music tradition with end-of-tour gift exchange | Music City Minute

In the immortal words of Geoffrey Chaucer, all good things must come to an end. Having said that, within the last month, Rascal Flatts, Eric Church and their support acts celebrated the conclusion of multi-week performances with traditional end-of-tour gifts. As a “thank you” for setting the tone each night of the Life Is A Highway tour, the boys of Rascal Flatts surprised their openers Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina with a brand spankin’ new Ford Mustang and Ford Bronco, respectively. On the flip side, technically Eric Church’s Free The Machine tour has not fully concluded, with shows scheduled through April. However, Ella Langley’s spell as tour opener reached an end Valentine’s Day in Albany, New York. The “Choosing Texas” singer expressed her gratitude with a unique gift she randomly found in an antique store. The Chief instantly fell in love with the 1920s pocket watch and vintage knife, which are attached by delicate a gold chain. Perhaps the wildest (and spookiest) part about this gift was an original engraving of the letter “E” adorning the watch.
