Get to Know Country Star Chris Young

3. The New York Yankees have a baseball player named Chris Young. For a day, would you ever want to trade lives? If so, list three reasons. "I have actually sung the anthem for a game he was playing in. I'm doing what I love to do, but (1) I love SportsCenter, so it would really be cool for me to make SportsCenter since he hits a lot of home runs. (2) Being able to walk onto that field is such a cool thing, [so to be] there as a player has got to be such a cool rush. (3) I'm sure he doesn't worry about Google Alerts as much as I do. I'm like, Somebody talking about me? Or they talking about him?'"

4. You currently follow 134 people on Twitter. I'll randomly pick five of them, and you tell me how you met/why you follow them. (1) Dallas Cowboy's Jason Witten: "Big Cowboys fan, and he was the most recent follow because I got to hang out with him at training camp. He's a really cool guy, and a Hall of Fame level guy." (2) Rosebuds East: "That is my very good friend's wife's flower shop in Nashville. I was actually his best man at his wedding, so I gotta follow her! I definitely have used them [for flower deliveries] before." (3) Pistol Annie's: "Obviously having done shows with them and everything, I followed them when they were still together as a group. I've just never come back and honestly gone back to unfollow, so they're still on there from that." (4) Thomas Rhett: "When I did my first headlining tour, he was the middle act. I love him, love his dad too. I've known Rhett for a long time. He's just killing it right now." (5) Seth Meyers: "I met Seth backstage at a Brad Paisley concert. Him and Brad are evidently friends, so he kind of came back and I met him and thought, 'He's a cool dude, I want to see what he's up to.'"

5. Who was your last text message to—and is it appropriate to share with us? "Hang on, let's hope it's appropriate to share! It was actually a message to my agent, Rob Beckham, about our fall tour. I said, How we looking?' That's all I said. He wrote back and gave me an update about the first week on sale since [tickets just became available]. We're looking great."

6. You're from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Were you a good speller growing up? Can you spell Chattanooga? "My spelling was something I really, really concentrated on as a kid because I was bad at it at first. Chattanooga isn't hard. C-H-A-T-T-A-N-O-O-G-A. But that's a city where I'm from! You want to stump somebody, ask them to spell "Lieutenant!"

7. When you first performed on stage as an opening act or headliner, what was your biggest fear? "Forgetting lyrics. It's gonna happen when you've been lucky enough to do it for a while, but you almost laugh it off. When I first started I thought, 'Oh my God, this would be awful. I wouldn't know what to do.' Now I'm so used to being on stage and being comfortable with crowds that you just go with it [if it happens]. What are you gonna do, stop the show and start over? You just go with it and laugh about it."
