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."

Luke Combs' wish has finally come true. Becoming the highest-selling Country artist of all time? Sure. But also being surprised by his upcoming third baby.
Backstage at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, Combs tells Katie Neal that he wanted to be surprised about having a boy or a girl at birth for all of his children, but it wasn't until baby number 3 that Nicole finally relented.
"I wanted to do a surprise for all of them, and my wife was like, 'absolutely not, I need to know,'" says Luke. "But on the third one she was like, 'yeah, whatever.' I'm excited about the surprise."
With two boys at home, anticipation is building for the family. "Tex is 3, he's like almost 3.5, so he's potty trained and he understands the deal, and Beau just kind of follows him around. It's like, 'mama baby, mama baby,' and he just points, you know. I don't know that he really understands, but he can kind of copy whatever."
There is also that little matter of being the highest-selling Country artist of all time, which for Luke was a surprise in itself. "Kind of unexpected for sure, and I was just like, 'man, really?' I'm like, 'that's kind of wild'" he admits. "I feel like I haven't been doing this that long, you know, like, but then I have kind of at the same time, I don't know, I'm 35, I'm not like super old yet."
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.
