Brad Paisley Stops Concert Mid-Show to Take Phone Call From His Kid
Country artist Brad Paisley might be in the middle of a tour right now, but that doesn't mean he's letting his priorities at home fall to the wayside. While playing a show in Las Vegas on May 10, he was in between songs when he suddenly stopped, looked at what was presumably his Apple watch, and then told the crowd, "My son is calling me on the phone right now." Paisley then took his phone out of his back pocket, answered it, and said, "Hey, I'm in the middle of a concert." Watch the clip to find out the sweet reason his son felt the need to call him right away. Aww... he was putting up Mother's Day decorations all over the house for ! Love it. The Paisleys have two sons, Huck and Jasper, who are 18 and 16 years old. We can't be sure which one of the boys was calling, but the comment for the audience at the end of the call was priceless: "Sorry, I know he's working." (Side note: yeah, yeah, the whole thing could've been staged. But let's just go with it and assume it was legit.) People who watched the clip loved it just as much as the live audience. One fan said, "'Sorry, I know he's working,' like it's a desk job 😂" Another added, "He skipped the secretary and called Dad's direct line 🤣🥹"Someone else noted, "A teen is a teen. No parent is famous at home, and you are a great dad!" As for those decorations? Well, it looks like Paisley's sons got the job done. He shared this sweet photo to his Instagram stories. Kimberly also shared an update on her own Instagram stories and declared, "The decorations turned out great!" 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

Brad Paisley On His Partnership With Fender To Create The 'Lost Paisley' Telecaster
Country artist Brad Paisley Credit: Pam Windsor Brad Paisley has a lot on his calendar for 2025. He recently headlined a show for the NFL Draft, he has new music out, including his latest single 'Truck Still Works,' and he kicks off a major tour later this month. He's also been hard at work in the 'guitar building' business. The singer/songwriter and guitar virtuoso has been collaborating with Fender to create a series of 'Lost Paisley' Telecasters that hit the market for presale today. These limited-edition, vintage-inspired guitars come with quite the back story. It starts with the counter-culture movement of the late 60s. In 1968, Fender released two different guitars, each sporting a bold, psychedelic design. One was a Paisley Red, the other, a Blue Floral Telecaster. 'They were chasing the flower power movement,' Brad Paisley explains. 'Never mind that no one bothered to analyze whether a premium, extra expensive, higher priced guitar, made by Fender, that catered to the hippy movement, would be successful. But none of those hippies had any money.' A vintage 1968 Fender Paisley Red Telecaster electric guitar and a Fender Silverface Champ ... More amplifier, taken on March 12, 2019. (Photo by Joby Sessions/Future Publishing via Getty Images) Future Publishing via Getty Images He stops, laughs, then adds, 'They hadn't founded Apple yet.' Those telecasters had an amazing sound (guitar legend James Burton played a Red Paisley with Elvis who absolutely loved it), but the finish on those guitars didn't hold up for very long and ending up chipping and flaking. By 1969, Fender discontinued the line. However, Brad, who just so happens to have 'Paisley' as a last name, was always a huge fan of the design. The minute he got his Nashville record deal, he launched a search to find a Paisley Telecaster. 'It's unreal my last name is one of the coolest finishes Fender has ever done,' he says. So, he's played a Red Paisley for years, but always wondered why they didn't make a blue one. Recently, after a Craigslist discovery of some old blue/green paisley Cling-Foil, the singer, along with collaborators Zac Childs and Joe Glaser, began using the material to turn one of his 1967 Telecaster guitars into a Blue Paisley. He and Fender have now formed a partnership to create 67 more, just like them. Last week, they got together at the Fender shop in Nashville to talk about the guitars and what makes them so special. Paisley, who has been actively involved in helping Fender create these new Telecasters, says the company has been an incredible partner. Brad Paisley talks with Ben Blanc - Dumont, Director of Artist Marketing at Fender in Nashville, and ... More Chase Paul, Director of Product Development - Fender Custom Shop, about creating the "Lost Paisley Telecaster." Credit: Pam Windsor 'This is a really great company run by people who play the guitar. They love this as much as I do, he says. 'They did several incarnations of these guitars where we talked about it and felt like the first was too thick, and I felt if it was going to look authentic it's got to do these things and every single time I made a note, they changed it.' Fender's Chase Paul says they've never had an artist collaborator who has been as hands-on involved with a project, as Paisley has been. 'Usually you have collaboration, discussion, figure out what you want it to be, and we take it and run with it. But Brad made a trip out to the Custom Shop, met the team, showed us his approach and how he did it. That was incredibly refreshing and shows through in the instrument itself.' The lightweight guitars are made from a unique combination of wood, come equipped with Seymour Duncan Shop Hand-Wound Lost Paisley pickups, and have a Glaser 'G' Bender system allowing for fluid, pedal-steel-like bends. Limited Edition Brad Paisley 1967 "Lost Paisley" Telecaster Courtesy of Fender While Fender starts taking pre-orders for those 67guitars today through its dealer network, at a cost of $7000, Paisley has also announced plans to build 19 additional Blue Paisley Telecasters on his own, in the future. He'll be busy on the road over the next few months. He starts his 'Truck Still Works Tour' May 21st. He has a new single to promote ('Truck Still Works') and says fans can expect more new music very soon. Paisley also recently released an updated digital version of 'Raining Inside,' a hauntingly beautiful song he wrote and recorded with the rock group Dawes a couple of years ago. While the song was written before the California wildfires, Paisley and brothers, Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith (who make up Dawes), realized it seems so timely now, as it relates to the emotions so many people are going through after losing their homes. 'Dawes is my favorite 'something' band,' says Paisley. 'I'd call them California rock or something like that. They're like an absolute throw back to the golden era of everything from the Eagles, Poco, Jackson Brown, that's who they sound like. And Taylor and Griff are amazing people. They lost their homes in the Altadena fire. We lost our old house, we didn't own it anymore, but the (Pacific Palisades) house we first bought that our kids were very young in, and we raised them in.' And it's not just those affected by the wildfires, but anyone going through dark times might possibly relate to 'Raining Inside,' either through the lyrics, the music, or both. 'There's something therapeutic about twin electric guitars played in harmony like Taylor and I do it at the end,' Paisley adds. 'There's this extended outro that does feel like you're just raging against it.' Paisley's love for the guitar shines through both his music, and the new Blue Paisleys he's been so excited to create. While guitar enthusiasts will appreciate the guitar style and features, others might just like the look. 'People who feel the exact same way I do about this instrument will eat this up. My wife says it's a language she doesn't even speak,' Paisley says. I can walk into anywhere in any situation, any genre, any whatever, and if there is a guitar player in the room, we will find each other and have a deep conversation before it's over. So, working on this has been a lot of fun for me. Others will just think the guitar is pretty. My wife thinks it's pretty. The 'Lost Paisley' Telecaster definitely has a look all its own.

Brad Paisley headlines NFL Draft 2025 concert Saturday in Green Bay
Brad Paisley will headline the NFL Draft Concert Series in Green Bay on Saturday, performing at Lambeau Field following the final pick. The NFL has announced country music icon Brad Paisley as the headline act for its Draft Concert Series, closing out the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday, April 26, in Green Bay. The concert is set to begin about 30 minutes after the final selection is made, with an estimated start time around 6 p.m., subject to how long teams take to complete their picks. Paisley, a multiple Grammy Award winner with nearly 5 billion streams worldwide, is known for hits including Mud on the Tires, Ticks, Little Moments, Waitin' on a Woman, I'm Gonna Miss Her and American Saturday Night. He will launch his Truck Still Works World Tour on May 21. The performance will take place at the Draft Theater adjacent to Lambeau Field. Admission is free, and fans are encouraged to arrive early as general viewing will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The venue will remain open for the duration of the Draft programming. As part of the weekend entertainment, organisers will also host a drone light show on Friday night. The show will feature more than 500 drones flying in synchronised formations above Lambeau Field. Saturday's concert is part of a broader celebration across Green Bay. The Draft City Music Fest, held downtown, will begin at 5 p.m. and feature Less Than Jake as the headliner at 10 p.m. Local organisers have compared the NFL Draft concert to the 2011 kickoff event held ahead of the Packers' season opener, when Kid Rock, Lady A and Maroon 5 performed to a crowd of roughly 100,000 outside Lambeau Field.
