Kane Brown’s New Music, Fatherhood, and a Surprise Elvis Collaboration
Country music star Kane Brown recently appeared on the Bobby Bones Show where he shared some fascinating details about his career, personal life, and a surprising collaboration with a music legend.
One of the most talked-about moments was when Kane revealed the story behind his song with Elvis Presley. A co-host asked about the collaboration, noting that when you search for Elvis’s Christmas music, “Blue Christmas” featuring Kane Brown is the top result. Kane explained that while he isn’t a big Christmas music fan, he had always practiced with “Blue Christmas.” After he released his version, Elvis’s team reached out. “They saw a lot of Elvis in me,” Kane said, and they decided to add the King of Rock and Roll’s original vocals to his track. Kane admitted he “started freaking out” when he first heard it.
Family, Hobbies, and the Time 100 List
The interview also delved into Kane’s personal life. He shared stories about his love for racing, revealing he’s an avid drag racer and even owns a high-tech racing simulator that is so realistic, it can be dangerous. He also talked about his family life, including his weekly basketball games and a recent prank that led to the discovery of his third child.
Kane recounted that his wife, Katelyn, surprised him by announcing her pregnancy as he was taking off on a private plane. The timing was especially wild because the last time he flew private, he found out his house was on fire. He joked that he’s “never flying private again.” After welcoming two daughters, they were surprised to find out they were expecting a boy. “It was God’s plan,” he said, adding with a laugh that his wife had also insisted he get a vasectomy.
The conversation touched on Kane’s inclusion in the Time 100 Most Influential People list. He expressed humility about the honor, saying he hopes he is a good influence, particularly on children. He wants to show people how to be respectful, give back, and create music that everyone can enjoy.
Upcoming Tour Dates and a Big Year Ahead
Kane Brown wrapped up the interview by talking about his upcoming “In the Air” tour, which kicks off with six stadium shows starting on March 8th. The tour will run through September, with dates across the United States and Canada. He also mentioned that he has a show in London that very night, joking with Bobby about how he would get there so fast.
With new music, a tour, and a new baby on the way, it’s clear that Kane Brown has a busy and exciting year ahead.
