Country Singer ERNEST Dishes on His ‘Willie Nelson’ Pre-Show Ritual


Country star ERNEST shared his typical routine while on the road for Us Weekly's Backstage Pass

“I always participate in my own little Willie Nelson ritual before I go out there, so that might help,” the songwriter — who penned #1 hits for Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown and Sam Hunt — told Us, quipping: “But it worked against me [once] when I hung out with Wiz Khalifa.” Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer found themselves in hot water in the early 2000s after sharing their personal politics on a public stage. Not only will he be joining Jelly Roll for the “Save Me” singer’s Beautifully Broken tour, but he’s also looking forward to launching “Would If I Could,” his new single featuring Lainey Wilson from his latest album, Nashville, Tennessee.
