Shay Mooney: It’s Easy To ‘Screw Up’ TV Performances

Dan + Shay have done a handful of TV performances since they released their new album Bigger Houses in September, including a performance on the CMA Awards a few weeks ago (11/8) of their new single "Save Me The Trouble."

That performance went smoothly. But Shay Mooney explains that it's much more nerve-wracking to perform on TV than it is to perform in concert.

He told us, "First of all, it's very nerve-wracking to do live television because I feel, you know, through the course of the show, you have several opportunities to if you screw up something, yeah, there's several opportunities to redeem yourself. I feel like on a TV show, you're one and done. So, if you mess it up, everybody's going to see it."

He added with a smile, "But now we're always thankful when someone asks us to come and play on TV."

The duo will get a lot of TV time soon as they become coaches for season 25 of NBC's The Voice. They will join Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Chance the Rapper in Spring 2024 as the first-ever coaching duo in the show's history.

Dan Smyers said about their new album Bigger Houses, which was released in September, "Some of our records have been more pop- or hip-hop/R&B-infused, but on this record, I wanted to make tracks that we could hop up at any bar anywhere with our live band and play the songs as they were recorded."

He added, "Ultimately, this music, this whole album, is something that I'll be able to look back on in a decade or two and be really proud of the way it turned out." This comes shortly after the revelation that the successful duo almost broke up. But it seems that they are pretty happy lately: at a recent show, they both took their shirts off, showing off the results of their fitness routines.

The month of May is the most popular month to get married, as 11 percent of all couples marry in May. As we welcome the summer and the beautiful weather that comes with May, we gathered what we believe are the top five country music songs for weddings.

There were so many country love songs to choose from as every artist in country music has their fair share of love songs. But these five songs rise above the rest in helping couples share their love on their special days.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill - Such a beautiful love song that stands the test of time, just like Tim and Faith's marriage. "It's Your Love" became the first duet by a married couple to top the country chart since the inception of Nielsen BDS in 1990. No such single would top the chart again until almost 26 years later, when Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown's "Thank God" hit #1 in February 2023.

What a fantastic love song. Twain always sings this at her concerts. Shania wrote the song when she "drifted off" when she attended a soccer game in Italy that she was not interested in.

This song is written primarily for weddings. The video features footage from Smyers' and Mooney's 2017 weddings, including the grooms' first looks at their brides, the brides walking down the aisle, and the couples' introductions at their respective receptions.

This song is an amazing love letter to Thomas' wife, Lauren, who appears in the video. The video was shot on location on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii.

While there are many country music songs for a wedding, this one is a no-brainer. The song's official video features clips from Luke's August 2020 wedding to Nicole Hocking.
