New Jersey grandma goes wild for Thomas Rhett, road life is never boring with Dierks Bentley | Music City Minute

Fun fact: my first concert was New Kids on the Block at Fiddler’s Green when I was six years old. Nearly four decades later, I have seen countless artists and bands perform live. So, it was incredibly shocking for me to read that 87-year-old New Jersey grandma attended her very first country concert last week. The night was made even more memorable when the country star they were seeing, Thomas Rhett, hopped off the stage and gave octogenarian a big hug and she kissed him right on the cheek! Talk about a truly unforgettable experience.
Dierks Bentley and Zach Top are having a fantastic time together on the road. Recently, they had some downtime before a show, so they decided to try the “Bugatti” TikTok trend. Dressed as their “Hot Country Knights” alter egos, one by one, Bentley and his band were swiftly pulled out of frame. Zach Top was the last to appear in the video, hilariously scooting off screen at a snail’s pace. Between social media challenges and peer pressured cold plunges, it is nice to see these artists engaging in wholesome activities.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
