If the Backpack Kid Sees This Video, He’ll Probably Cry
Dustin Lynch, Maren Morris, Florida Georgia Line and Kenny Chesney have hot cuts on our Hot Songs of Summer list, but somehow that's lost messaging in a viral video sent earlier this week.
Lynch is a special guest on this week's episode of That's What She Said, which finds host Ania Hammar flossing — that's the official name of the "Backpack Dance" — to the bangers of summer 2018 (find the Hottest Men here). The "Good Girl" singer goes deep talking about his new honesty initiative. You have noticed a very different Dustin Lynch on Instagram and Twitter, haven't you? It's been shocking to fans, but he's just keeping it real.
"It hit me, it was like, why don't we show everybody the majority of life? So we just flipped the script," he says. "Selfishly, it's been rejuvenating and self-therapy, because I can talk about whatever I want to." Skip ahead to 2:45 to hear what Lynch has to say during a candid sit-down at the Taste of Country studios.
Additionally, we explore the surprise Caleb Lee Hutchinson and Maddie Poppe relationship on American Idol during Ep. 6. They're not quite as cute as Clay and Ruben, but pretty close! The star of the episode is the Backpack Kid, however. Okay, actually the star is the bad attempts at doing his dance — if you can do better, we want to see it!
That's What She Said is a weekly YouTube show that lands every Friday morning-ish. Host Ania Hammar talks fashion, wine, country music and wine. Because wine.
