Tom Brady, the legendary seven-time Super Bowl champion, is known for setting trends on the football field. But in a surprising turn, he’s now following the off-field lead of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes by diving into the world of country music.
While Mahomes, a Texas native, is famous for his love of country tunes, Brady, originally from San Mateo, California, stepped out of his comfort zone for a night of country music in Las Vegas. Brady joined boxing legend Mike Tyson to accompany country star Morgan Wallen during a concert at the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium.
The evening was a spectacle as Wallen, who is rapidly rising in the country music scene, made a grand entrance flanked by Brady and Tyson. Wearing a Raiders jersey, Wallen captivated the crowd with his performance, continuing his tour in style.
This isn’t the first time Wallen has shared the stage with NFL royalty. Just a week earlier, he was escorted by Mahomes and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during a performance at Arrowhead Stadium. Wallen sported a number 7 Chiefs jersey, which many assumed was a nod to Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. However, it also harkens back to Wallen’s high school baseball days when he wore the same number.
Wallen’s appearances at NFL stadiums, alongside some of the most recognizable athletes, are certainly helping boost his already soaring popularity. As his career continues to rise, these high-profile associations are contributing to a shift in his public image.
Fans were particularly intrigued by Wallen’s choice of attire, as he donned a Raiders jersey during the Las Vegas performance. One fan even joked that Brady was inspired to join Wallen after seeing his performance in Kansas City.
However, not everyone was impressed. Some fans criticized the repetitive nature of Wallen’s walkouts with sports stars, while others took issue with his choice of jersey. Despite the mixed reactions, Wallen’s connection with figures like Brady and Tyson is undeniably keeping him in the spotlight.
