The Stars Share Their Thoughts On 'The Road'
In another recent Instagram video, the stars involved share their thoughts about the show.
"Touring's hard to get right, but when you do, it's the greatest feeling in the world," co-producer Blake Shelton said.
"This show is all about being on the road. I don't think it's a job, I think it's a calling," added Keith Urban, who the contestants will be opening for.
"Opening for Keith is not for the faint of heart," finally warned Gretchen Wilson.
The Road should prove an emotional watch as these artists perform for real crowds, here not to see them, but to see another star altogether.
The stars-to-be shared their excitement in the comment section.
"Ahhhhhh!!! I am so excited for this journey!" exclaimed Britnee Kellogg.
"BIGGEST SECRET I HAVE EVER KEPT!!!" yelled Billie Jo Jones.
"Honored to be apart of this group!" wrote Cody Hibbard.
