Always admired his passion. I love his music. I've seen him in concert twice, I own every one of his albums. He is the living GOAT in my opinion.

Love Eric Church and his music, Lighting is an incredible song not surprised it got him signed. Not a day goes by when I don’t listen to some of his music. I definitely got to visit Chiefs and see my brick

Fan since seeing him open for Bob Seger on December 16, 2006, Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH. Chief's come a long way since then.

It is sad what Nashville has became I grew up on music group best country boys that can sing and then from Tennessee win good enough that's what made you Nashville

[@michaeltapper9004]

[@gillyOO7]

Who was that guy that rejected Eric Church?

[@ParisiticPictures]

This dude is a joke. Y’all don’t know what Music is and you will die knowing the same. ✌🏽❤️🎵🎥♾

[@crossfire8021]

For the love of God take the stupid sunglasses off 🤦‍♂️

[@brianmowery8412]

He doesn’t have red eye filter available 🤷‍♂️also ,doesn’t he have something wrong with his eyes, bright lights give him horrible headaches. So he wears sunglasses

[@TNGuy901]

He alienated his NRA fans

[@jodykoropatnicki3957]

HOW?

[@MH-kd3jt]

The NRA is incredibly corrupt and self-serving. It’s no longer about protecting gun rights.
