Zane Lowe's interviews are never boring, clicked for Taylor but ended up watching whole thing.

[@itsmebren5761]

>> I remember when I was 16 and got the first call from Sc... Bor.... my label president. He said "Can you be on the road in two days to open up for Rascal Flatts?" And I just started screaming, I said "This has to be a miracle", he said "No, It's not a miracle, Eric Church just got fired for playing too long"

[@agioni99]

Eric Church has been my favourite artist for many years now. Taylor Swift is great too. I never knew the story you mentioned until I first read it from you and then heard it here in the interview. Thank you, that made me smile.

[@clayfitzpatrick5236]

So humble. Mr. Church you are a true artist and an inspiration to so many!

[@Lex-jj7hb]

[@kyliepollert8341]

I knew Eric was a Seger fan, but I didn't know he opened for Bob. Pretty cool!

I've heard this happening to people and it did to me too. When my son was in Iraq I dreamt a song too! I have your new music Eric and I love it!! I'll see you at Country Thunder in Wisconsin!- in July! I LOVE this interview!!

[@LindaToth-mc7kk]

Love your song

[@Skins4life2117]

Eric got "fired" from Rascal Flatts because he played to loud and too long. More like he didnt fit the teeneybopper Mickey mouse bubblegum pop country mold...too raw and authentic

[@teeman8999]

Eric is the middle ground. Hes too mainstream for the alternative country scene but too rocky for nashville pop country scene.

[@crystalbelle2349]

@@teeman8999 agree. Eric is more real country like I think only Blake Shelton maybe the only other still has today. I’m older and they’re my two favorites now and I’m an old Waylon fan, so you can do the math with that LOL. Like these two country rockers and think they’d be the closest to Outlaw Country today. I know many claim to be, many try to imitate and duplicate but these Eric and Blake originate their own brand. Is originate a real word? Haha idk we are all able to enjoy the music is the good of living now so I love KZbin we can all agree on haha! 🎶

[@pattilogston9222]

Great interview 👍🏻

[@LadyThunderbird]

LoL Goodmorning Church you save my faith in music watch out for that Swifter!

[@neilwritesstuff]

zane's laugh lmaooo 😭😭😭

[@junkie.9208]

Maybe Taylor will invite him on tour someday it’s really possible

[@t.broderick4246]

He's selling out arenas all on his own lol

[@junkie.9208]

@@t.broderick4246 did I say anything shady?

[@JenniferJiang2013]

She's done projects with Tim & Keith, why not Eric?

[@caseytbss]

He would never do a tour with taylor……. Not a chance. His fan base and hers are not the same……. It’s obvious from these comments.

[@junkie.9208]

@@caseytbss you missed the point. Taylor invited a lot of artists to be a surprise guest on her tours, they don’t tour together.

[@justinwhite5859]

I love this ! Ol George !

Eric Church is the next John Mellencamp!!!

[@pattilogston9222]

Well am going to get on with that song too writing “ dancing in gold toe black socks 😭😭😭😭👏👏👏

Quit interrupting Chief

[@rthomas6856]

Can you share the playlist? Would love to see it.

[@pattilogston9222]

Eric sounds like a good title to the next album humbly stone or a track name 👏👏👏👏🙌🏻💛🧚🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Many artists who write their songs do😯

[@TimUtzigyt]

Is there a full interview somewhere???

[@shivang4420]

I wonder what happened to that artist who replaced him🤔

[@nikkyja6153]

Oh you know she have 11 grammys and is the artist of the decade 😌

[@harshyadav9896]

Yeah you can't see her, she is on top of the world right now.

@@harshyadav9896 you know I was joking, right? You seem a little aggressive

She died in 2017, but rumor has it she has an imposter who’s took over her career 😌😂
