Parker McCollum just wrapped up a whirlwind year, calling it the fastest one of his life! The country star, who became a first-time dad while also releasing his fifth studio album, took time to reflect on the highs and lows of his 2025 tour. From unforgettable nights on stage to a few hiccups here and there, McCollum shared his gratitude for fans who sang along, supported him, and kept the energy alive. Seriously, we should all be writing letters and waving signs—who wouldn’t want to be that appreciated?
As winter approaches, McCollum couldn’t be more excited to dive into deer season. ‘Turns out,” he says, “all that stage diving and merch selling leads to a hunger for some good ol’ hunting.” But don’t worry, he’ll be back on stage soon enough, kicking off 2026 with a New Year’s Eve performance in Fort Worth, Texas, followed by a 14-date solo tour. He’ll also be bringing along some rising country star contenders to join the fun. Can you say musical showdown?
Now that he’s ending the year on a high note, it leaves us wondering what’s in store for McCollum’s next chapter. Will we see more surprises from him next year? One thing’s for sure—he’s got us all eagerly waiting to see how he combines music and outdoor adventures into the magic that is Parker McCollum. So, what’s your take on balancing life as a family man with a busy tour schedule?
