Cooke recently shared on Taste of Country Nights that while joining Brown on The High Road Tour earlier this year, she received a truly unforgettable gift.

Brown isn’t the only superstar who has treated Cooke to a generous end-of-tour surprise. She also recalled wrapping a tour with Luke Bryan, who handed her an envelope full of cash—along with the advice not to “spend it all in one place.”

While details on her upcoming album have yet to be announced, her growing list of tour stories makes it clear she’s already making waves in the genre.
