We got the chance to talk with Sam Hunt this morning before we see him tomorrow at Pig Jig.  He was in a great mood and had us laughing.  He also told us how he vacationed with Rob Gronkowski recently.  Sam Hunt's vacation with Gronk.

Remember at Strawberry Festival earlier this year, Sam invited Gronk on stage with him the night Tom Brady tweeted out he would be coming back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?   The crowd went crazy for Sam's backup dancer on stage which was Rob Gronkowski.

Sam Hunt's vacation with Gronk

Sam and Gronk met awhile back and know have mutual friends and ended up vacationing together recently.  He told us about their trip and what it is like to vacation with him.  They went to Cabo and it sounded like there were other football players on the trip and it sounded like fun time playing volleyball.   Sam was open about choosing music over his football career and being okay with it.

Last Time Sam and Kip Were In Tampa Together

Sam also talked about the last time he and Kip Moore played together and that was at The Dallas Bull in 2014.  Sam opened for Kip that night and that was the first time Sam played in Tampa and wasn't really well known.
