Country music singer Dylan Scott is preparing to take the Lyric stage on Friday, Nov. 4, for the Oxford stop on his “Amen to That Tour.”
Scott’s appearance follows the release of his sophomore album, “Livin’ My Best Life,” in August. The record is home to the recent No. 1 hit “New Truck” and the current country radio single “Can’t Have Mine (Find You A Girl).”
University of Mississippi senior Kennedy Turnbull is one of the country music sensation’s followers eagerly anticipating the event.
“I’m a big fan of country music and a big fan of Dylan Scott, so I’m just really excited that he’s finally making his way to Oxford,” Turnbull said. “My friends and I literally just can’t wait to see him.”
Scott made his debut in 2013 with the country radio single “Makin’ This Boy Go Crazy,” and his career catapulted from there. He would go on to release two studio albums and five extended plays. Among these projects, Scott has released 10 singles in nearly a decade of music.
Though Scott was becoming a household name in Nashville music circles, it was not until his fifth single, “My Girl,” hit radio waves that his career started to take off on mainstream radio. The double platinum hit ended up becoming Scott’s first No. 1 on country radio. The single was so large, it became the sixth most played song in country music in 2017.
At the 2021 Country Music Television Awards, Scott took home his first trophy from the organization for Top 10 hit “Nobody” in the “Breakthrough Video of the Year” category. Although it was not his first hit single, the song was still influential, charting for more than a year on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart.
Along for the ride as his opener is rising star Lily Rose, who is most frequently recognized for her debut single on country radio, “Villain.” The track found success on TikTok, where it garnered enough support for Rose to sign a record deal with Big Loud. Rose is also notable as one of few LGBTQ+ individuals to chart on country radio.
Rose just celebrated the one-year anniversary of her debut project, “Stronger Than I Am,” in October, but her almost 1 million followers on TikTok make it clear that she is destined for countless more years on the country music scene.
Exciting expectations for Rose and the energetic hits seasoned throughout Scott’s personal set should make a packed house scream “amen” during Friday night’s show.
You can purchase your tickets online on The Lyric or Dylan Scott’s website.
