No matter how you measure it, Jordan Davis had a massive 2025. The 'Learn The Hard Way' singer released a new album, welcomed a new baby, and played headline shows around the globe, and now he tells Katie Neal, during the final 'Superstar Power Hour' of the year, it's time for something different for 2026.
"I'm actually looking forward to a year that's a little lighter than what we've been doing," he shares, "mainly because I think as busy as I've been with touring and making 'Learn The Hard Way,' I really haven't been able to really sit down and write like I've wanted to."
"I've either been coming into town and writing for a couple days or bringing buddies out and writing on the road, so I'm really excited for next year to continue writing and making a new record. I feel like I'm really excited to get back to songwriting, and I'm glad that next year is a little lighter so that I can do that."
Back here, we're closing out 2025 and starting 2026 in style by giving one lucky listener the chance to attend a 'Totally Private' show with Jordan Davis in Nashville. We had to ask Jordan, if he had his own 'Totally Private' dream show, who would be on the stage for him?
"John Prine would have been the guy that I would have given every cent I had to be in a room to just hear stories and listen to him sing," Davis admits. "If I had to say anybody, it would be John Prine. He was why I fell in love with it, why I started writing songs. That would have been my dream living room show."

Last month Dan + Shay made it official, releasing their cover of Taylor Swift's "Back To December" after video of the duo performing the song in soundcheck went viral. Now, backstage at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, they are taking requests for what's next.
Katie Neal was quick to suggest something from 'Wicked,' which launched Dan into full fandom immediately. "I watched the movie. I'm so cheap, I rented it for like 19.99 when it came out. I watched it at least 8 times in the 48 hour window."
Shay meanwhile has yet to experience the wonder of 'Wicked,' but he has an excuse, maybe. "I got 4 kids. I was too busy watching 'Zootopia 2.'"
"I just had to keep getting the reps in because I was like, I spent money on this, I'm gonna watch," adds Dan. "It was amazing though."
Country Music’s Biggest Night is back! Get ready for the 59th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Lainey Wilson, LIVE Wednesday, November 19 at 8/7c on ABC.
