Tucker Wetmore: Country's Global Takeover

0:00It's April 27th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. US country singer Tucker Wetmore is hyped about his first headline tour, Outside America, hitting the UK right now. The 26 year old says the rest of the world is finally catching up to how fire country music is. His debut album dropped exactly one year ago, and he's already packing venues like Birmingham. He grew up in Washington State, chasing American football until a busted leg shifted his path to music. At 20 he packed up for Nashville, open for heavyweights like Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan and Jordan Davis down under. Now headlining feels like a whole new level after grinding those support slots. British crowds have him blown away, screaming his name and lighting up every show. He credits country's boom here to his raw truth real stories folks connect with, exploding beyond its American roots. Is dressing like him? That's wild for a dude who still feels like just a kid loving beats.
