Florida Georgia Line is out on the road playing on their "Can’t Say I Ain’t Country" tour with Dan & Shay and Morgan Wallen as their opening acts, and they expect Dan & Shay and Morgan to bring their A-game and try to make them work that much harder.

Tyler Hubbard shared, “I remember being out on the Luke Bryan tour. We were the first of three, and for that 30 minutes we had, we were gonna crush Luke Bryan. That was our goal. It was all friendly, we’re friends. But at that point, for our 30 minutes, in our minds we were the best act in the world. I think you gotta have that mentality, no matter where you’re at, or how many people you’re playing to, or what the case is.”

Tyler continues, “I’m gonna tell all the acts on our tour, ‘Hey, for that 30 minutes you’re out there, you better believe that you’re the best artist that’s ever been on this stage.’”

The duo currently have their wives and family out on tour with them and posted to Instagram, "There’s no better feeling than having the better halves of FGL sitting side stage. We’re some lucky guys for sure."
