McCollum Posted This Message of Appreciation on Social Media
The 33-year-old Texas native wrote the following. "2025 Tour is over. Fastest year of my life. First year on the road as a dad. Released my 5th studio album. Played arenas across the country. Had some nights I wasn't my best. Had a bunch of nights that I'm not sure my feet ever touched the floor. (Floaters as I call them. When everything is just clicking from start to finish). If you're still reading this, thank you."
He added, "Thank you for showing up and singing these songs back to us. Thank you for buying merch, waiting in line, making signs, bringing me Zyns, writing me letters, waving back to me from the crowd. Every single night I got to do what I love to do with the people I love to do it with. This year was nothing short of magical and none of it is possible without all of you. I'm headed to the ranch to enjoy this deer season to the fullest extent. I'll see you all in 2026! Mad love!"
