Mackenzie Carpenter – Jake Owen tour :37
“Now being out on the road with Jake on my first official tour, on the buses an everything, the way that he has handled it and let me in has been amazing. He posts my name all over, and he’s so supportive and says such kind things. And we actually go out, me and him and Travis, go out and sing a song together during his set, which is always awesome when the artist invites you up to do that. But Jake’s whole crew has been amazing. His fans are awesome. They’re so loyal. They’re singing every word, to Jake’s songs of course, and I’m forcing them to sing my songs, slowly but surely. So, I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
Mackenzie has made one very special fan out on the road, who isn’t nearly as impressed with Jake as the headliner on the tour.
Mackenzie Carpenter – Jake Owen’s daughter :41
“And I got to meet his daughter last weekend, Pearl. And it’s actually hilarious. He had gone through a lot to go get her. I think some of the travel plans messed up and he had to get on this redeye to grab her. And he got back to the show, and I’m the only girl on this run, and so Pearl and me are kinda having a special bond. And she bought one of my T-shirts and she stood side stage and was like watching the show. And then it got time for Jake’s set and she was like, ‘Daddy, I’m tired.’ And it like broke my heart because, I was talking to Thomas Rhett about this too. It’s like, their kids see them as their dad. They’re not a superstar, you know. And it’s really, really tender and sweet to watch.“
Mackenzie will be out on the road with Jake Owen on his ‘Up There, Down Here Tour’ through November 10, when it wraps in Owensboro, KY.
