Keith Urban Reveals How He Was Feeling During Surprise Buc-ee’s Concert At ACM Honors
On Friday, August 16th, Keith Urban threw a free concert at the beloved gas station Buc-ee’s. He was initially freaked out by the massive turnout to his free concert in Athens, Alabama.
He opened up further on the ACM Honors red carpet about how he felt during the spontaneous concert.
When Urban was asked, “Can you believe how many people showed up for that event?” He responded, “Shocked, I was shocked. It got out of hand in all the right ways. It was magical. That is the only word for it: magical. I did not expect that.“

When asked by the ACM Honors reporter what his Buc-ee’s favorites are, he said, “I love the brisket and the fudge.” Urban was then asked about the video of him cutting brisket at Buc-ee’s, to which he responded humorously:
“I was learning my craft ’cause it is good to have something to fall back on in case this thing [his music career] doesn’t work out.”
The “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, but now he has Buc-ee’s as a backup!
