Dustin Lynch says his new album, “Killed the Cowboy”, is a “timestamp” on this chapter of his life. And this chapter finds him still single at 38. That should NOT be a big deal, but it is.
Quote, “There’s a pressure in country music of, ‘Why isn’t he married? What’s wrong with him? Why didn’t he have kids?’ A lot of artists I came up with have found their person and are having kids, and the fans are super invested in that.”
He says that pressure has been eased thanks to all the fans he’s been meeting who are in the same situation. He’s learned that it’s okay to be single . . . and to be absolutely sure before deciding to spend the rest of your life with someone.
Quote, “That’s where I am right now. It’s okay to NOT know what’s next and be a little bit scared about it.” (Last long-term relationship we remember Dustin having was with Instagram model Kelli Seymour. They broke up in 2021.)
