Dan + Shay Talk About The Viral Video They Did With J.R.
Tampa Bay’s Morning Krewe talked to Dan + Shay and they talk about the viral video they did with J.R. Dan + Shay have a brand new song out called “You”, which happened to come out on J.R.’s birthday.
They boys have been on tour with Kenny Chesney all summer, so we needed an update since they started the tour here in Tampa. We wanted to know how Kenny’s tour is different than any other tour they have been on and Dan said, “Honestly, Kenny’s crew is unbelievable. They’ve been doing it for so long. They’ve got the set up dialed…His crew, they’re back there flipping burgers, mixing drinks, like taking shots before the show. It’s a whole vibe, man. It’s like summer camp out there.”
They have known J.R. for a long time and have done some crazy things together. Dan + Shay and they talk about the viral video they did with J.R. where they went ‘coning’ at McDonald’s. ‘Coning’ is where you go through the drive-thru at McDonald’s and grad a ice cream cone by the top. Check out a pic from the video below.
Dan + Shay are made up of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney. They have released four albums, Where It All Began, Obsessed, Dan + Shay and Good Things. They have released nine songs as singles to country radio and seven of them have gone #1. Their biggest song may be “10,000 Hours” where they teamed up with Justin Bieber.
That song debuted at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, which is the pop charts. It also made history on Billboard‘s Streaming Songs chart by becoming the highest-charting non-holiday country song in the history of the chart. They beat out “Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line.
They won three consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for the songs “Tequila”, “Speechless”, and “10,00 Hours”. The boys have won other awards included multiple Academy of Country Music Awards.
