Chris Stapleton

Some of country's biggest stars and smaller acts received funds to keep paying their employees.

Combs picked a Stapleton song as his "deep cut" when Morgan Wallen named him for the #DeepCutsChallenge

The singer duetted with Madea on "Tennessee Whiskey" from his seat in the audience.

He's bringing along an amazing cast of all-stars.

Stapleton is hitting the road in 2020.

He also added two more Las Vegas shows.

It is unclear if he jumped the gun or not with his announcement, but one act we know for sure will be there.

As we head toward 2020, Stapleton’s mainstream debut sits atop Billboard’s list of the current decade’s top-selling albums.

Do you agree?

He has also surpassed 2 million tickets sold in his career.

Their influence spans decades and generations.

Martina McBride, Chris Stapleton and Bill Anderson will all be featured in their own Country Music Hall of Fame exhibits in 2020.
