If there is one word we have used to describe Dan + Shay’s music , it’s OBSESSED. Which is why the name is so perfect for their sophomore album, which they just announced is due out June 2nd! That means you’ll have lots of new music to learn before seeing them on the “Good For A Good Time” Tour with Darius Rucker this Summer! Dan + Shay have always been amazing when it comes to interacting with their fans, and were inspired to name the album “Obsessed” after reading fans’ comments on social media. Pre-orders for the album will go live next Friday, April 29th! (FANGIRLING HARD)
You tweeted + we listened! Thanks for naming our album for us! 💻📱#OBSESSED
Country duo Dan + Shay are set to perform on Good Morning America this Friday, March 18th! If you’re in NYC, head on down to the GMA Times Square studio or tune into GMA tomorrow morning to catch the guys performing their brand new single “From The Ground Up!” GMA airs from 7am to 9am on ABC. We can’t wait to watch the national TV debut of their powerful new song.
Watch the official music video below.

After taking a (much needed) break to re-group and work on new music, Dan + Shay are back with a brand new single! The duo posted a “be back soon” message just before the Holidays and returned earlier this week with some exciting news: new music! Have we mentioned how much we’ve missed them? The song got high praise from Warner Nashville President John Esposito (side note: we have seen Espo at shows rocking out and he is the bomb) and Scooter Braun, who called it a “game changer.” Well, the wait is over and “From The Ground Up” is here! WE HAVE NEW MUSIC FROM DAN + SHAY!!! Watch the video below!
The track was co-written by Chris DeStefano (who has written many of our JAMS) and is the first track off of Dan + Shay’s upcoming sophomore release. We had high hopes for this song – Dan + Shay’s “Where It All Began” is one of our favorite albums of all time – and it did not disappoint!
A friend of ours has described Dan + Shay as a country version of Backstreet Boys, and “From The Ground Up” certainly fits the bill. The emotional power ballad is driven by the smooth harmonies and powerful vocals we’ve come to know and love from the duo. Dan + Shay draw from both pop songwriting and a traditional country narrative. We’re sure this song will be played at many upcoming weddings!

Dan + Shay’s “Just The Right Kind Of Crazy” Tour stopped at Emporium in Patchogue, NY over the weekend. It’s the perfect name for a tour that blends the right amount of their signature pop country harmonies and crazy on stage energy!
Opening act Kelsea Ballerini infused lots of rock and roll energy into her pop-country sound. Her 45 minute set included tracks from her debut album “The First Time,” including singles “Dibs” and “Love Me Like You Mean It.” A highlight of her set was a 90s medley that included songs from *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, encouraging everyone in the crowd to dance their craziest (or in our case, break out our boyband choreography).
Speaking of boy bands, Dan + Shay took us all back to middle school dance days with an outstanding cover of Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love To You,” complete with disco ball lighting. The song highlighted Shay’s powerful voice and made us wonder what other 90s boy band jams we’d like to have them cover (answer: any and all of them, please.) Their set also included some classic rock covers, from Def Leppard to Bon Jovi, and an energetic mashup of “Dynamite” and “Moves Like Jagger.”
We love watching Dan + Shay perform because of the passion and energy they bring to each show. You can tell they are having a blast on stage and the excitement is infectious. The packed house was singing and moving along to every word. The duo are also great at interacting with the crowd, pointing out and singing along with fans, even stopping to take a rose from a man in the audience without missing a note.
Their set included nearly every song from their debut album, “Where It All Began.” Dan + Shay mentioned they have been busy working on new music, and played fan favorite “Partner In Crime.” We can’t wait for more music from our favorite duo!

Country duo Dan + Shay just released the music video for their new single “Nothin’ Like You” and its got our two favorite things: Dan + Shay and PUPPIES! Sure sounds like a dream to us! This is one of our favorite songs on their debut album, “Where It All Began.”
The band have a special message at the end of the video about adopting a shelter dog. Dan + Shay have worked with Proverbs 12:10 Animal Shelter in Nashville, and we love Dan’s adorable rescue dogs, Joy and Chief! Oh, and did we mention the video has PUPPIES!?
Watch the adorable video below and be sure to visit the Proverbs 12:10 Animal Shelter and the ASPCA to learn more about adopting and other ways you can help out!

Dan + Shay just surprised us all and dropped the lyric video for their latest single “Nothin’ Like You!” It’s a perfect singalong song, so watch the video to learn the words and start belting it out! (The line “and you’re stealing my heart like a gypsy” is a personal favorite for singing at the top of our lungs)

Last night’s 50th annual ACM Awards made the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most attended live awards show ever. Thousands of country stars and fans packed the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and the crowd’s energy level was off the charts. Performances included everyone from George Straight and Garth Brooks, to newcomers Thomas Rhett, Sam Hunt and Best New Artist Winner Cole Swindell.
One highlight of the night was when Dan + Shay took the stage with Nick Jonas. They performed a special mashup of their hit “Nothin’ Like You,” along with Nick’s solo tracks “Jealous” and “Chains.” When we first heard they were performing together, we weren’t quite sure what to expect with such different sounds. But the mashup, produced by Dan Smyers, perfectly mixed the songs and genres together, with a stellar 3-part harmony. And of course there’s nothing like Shay Mooney’s voice (chills, every time.)
The 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards air this Sunday, April 19th, on CBS! We’re especially excited about this year’s group of Best New Artist nominees, along with some more familiar faces. Don’t forget you can vote for Best New Artist and Entertainer of the Year at VoteACM.com up until the start of the show! Here are our favorite tracks from some of this year’s ACM Award Nominees.
1. Thomas Rhett – “Front Porch Junkies” Nominated for Best New Artist
We fell for Thomas’ funky country style, and after seeing him live he is one of our favorite performers, ever. We love all the Best New Artist nominees (really, you can’t go wrong), but we can’t help but root for the Home Team.
2. Dan + Shay – “What You Do To Me” Nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year
This is one of our favorite songs of all time, of any genre, and quickly made its way to the top of our most played tracks. We can’t wait to see Dan + Shay + Nick (Jonas) perform at this year’s show!
3. Cole Swindell – “Let Me See Ya Girl” Nominated for Best New Artist
Cole has written hit after hit for artists like Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georiga Line, and more. His debut album has had 3 #1 singles and counting. It’s one of those albums where every song is your jam.
4. Sam Hunt – “Breakup In A Small Town” Nominated for Best New Artist
We. Are. Obsessed. With. This. Song. The perfect representation of Sam’s R&B / country mashup. Sam has been dominating the charts lately since “Montevallo” was released late last year, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled off a win.
5. Kacey Musgraves – “Biscuits” Nominated for Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year
Kacy’s throwback music and sartorial style (she and her band are always on point) is a refreshing change. We can’t wait for Kacey’s upcoming album!
