Kenny Chesney Paid Taylor Not to Tour With Him ? 

Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney once paid to keep Taylor Swift off his tour, rather than on it. Chesney had booked Corona Light as a sponsor for his tour. Because of the slew of ethical and legal issues that stemmed from having a minor open for a tour sponsored by a leading alcohol brand,Kenny chose to let Swift’s camp know about the situation before the tour began. “I had to call her and tell her she couldn’t be on the tour,” Chesney recalls. Although he apologized about the situation, there wasn’t anything he could do to change it. He wrote Swift a check to make up for potential revenue lost. Later that year, Taylor won the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year award, ending Chesney’s four-year stint as the reigning entertainer.

“I went up to her backstage, gave her a hug and told her I wanted my money back,” Chesney jokes.

In August, Zac Brown Band will make Fenway Park history by playing a three-show run at the legendary Boston. ballpark.

The boys are returning to the stadium for the second year in a row. They added a third date after selling out a pair of shows at the Boston Red Sox’ legendary stadium.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, March 27 at 10AM via the Red Sox website.
