Back during the “ACM Awards”, “The Boot” caught up with a bunch of Country stars, and asked them all the same question:  “Who was the toughest act to follow in all of Country music?”

And not surprisingly the most common answer they got was Chris Stapleton . . . Because who would ever want to go onstage right after Chris?  Not Thomas Rhett, that’s for sure.  He said, “I’ve done that before.  That’s not a fun gig.”

Here are some of the best answers:

1.  Chayce Beckham said, “I played after Zach Top the other day and that felt wrong to me.  I felt like I should be opening up for Zach.”

2.  Cody Johnson is a huge Brothers Osborne fan.  He said, “I would not in any capacity want to follow Brothers Osborne live on stage.”

3.  Which is funny because Brothers Osborne said the same thing about Cody Johnson.  They knew way back in the day when he opened for them, that he was “destined for greatness.”  Jelly Roll and Ian Munsick also named Cody, because he’s so talented.

4.  Kylie Morgan named Morgan Wallen, and with good reason.  She said, “He puts on such an incredible show that I’d be like, ‘I’m just gonna go home now.'”

5.  And then almost everyone else said Chris Stapleton.  Imagine him rocking out, singing, “White Horse” . . . and then it’s your turn.  Yeah, no thanks.
