Kenny Chesney is putting his fans ahead of the rollout. The intimate live video for “Remember Me That Way,” the second single from Silver Sands Marina, goes directly to No Shoes Nation inboxes on November 11 before the rest of the world sees it, a fans-first move built on the relationship Chesney calls the most enduring of his life.

In a world of biggest reach, most possible views, Kenny Chesney knows it’s about the long-lasting relationship he’s created with No Shoes Nation. Having created what amounts to the soundtrack of coming of age in the 21st century, Chesney wanted to create something that went directly to the people who’ve met up in parking lots, fallen in love – or apart – to his songs, made memories and set sail listening to his music.

“In a lot of ways, it’s the most enduring relationship of my entire life,” Chesney explains, “and there have been so many times they’ve lifted me up, and don’t even know it. So, as I’ve made Silver Sands Marina, there’ve been a lot of things that I did to reflect that relationship. And I knew when we decided ‘Remember Me That Way’ was going to be the second single, I wanted to do a performance video that showed how I see the fans from the stage as much as anything.

“When we finished, because it was meant to be intimate, it didn’t seem right to not continue that idea… On Nov. 11 – at 10 a.m. – fans part of No Shoes Nation will receive the video in their inbox. From me to them… Because, really, that’s what it’s all about.”

Shot during Chesney’s massive underplay at Nashville’s Pinnacle, “Remember Me That Way” is a celebration of the love shared between the East Tennessee songwriter-superstar and those who are part of what Variety describes as “a concertgoing community rivaled perhaps only by Parrotheads and Deadheads.” Moody, triumphant and ultimately, euphoric, the video delivers on what’s almost a soul connection.

Landing as a fistful of postcards and polaroids, Silver Sands Marina has created a reality that “CBS Mornings”‘s Gayle King proclaimed, “evokes memories, perfectly paints a special place and really celebrates life,” and Billboard enthused, “Chesney’s warm, conversational vocal approach makes each song feel even more lived-in and credible.”

With a :10 teaser landing on all platforms simultaneously, the rest of the world can see the love letter to sharing songs, coming together and a taste of what people have been waiting for since 2024 on Nov. 12. Being the only country artist on POLLSTAR’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for the last 15 years, “Remember Me That Way” serves as a reminder it’s how we choose to see what happened that matters.

“When I look out and see those faces – and think about all the summers, the living we’ve shared, I want people to see all of this, the band, each other through this kind of lens.”

Sixteen years after she auditioned for American Idol on the Ryman Auditorium stage, Lauren Alaina came back to headline it, sold the room out, and closed The Stages Tour with a night built around family, friends and surprise guests.

On Thursday (Nov. 12), Diamond-certified Country superstar Lauren Alaina made her SOLD-OUT Ryman Auditorium debut – a full-circle moment for the small-town Georgia native who auditioned for American Idol sixteen years ago on the very same stage.

Taking a well-deserved victory lap, Alaina surprised her sold-out crowd with several star-studded guests, including her brother, Tyler Suddeth (“Babies Raising Babies”), Scotty McCreery (“When You Say Nothing At All”), Emily Ann Roberts (“I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”), Chase Matthew (“All My Exes”), HARDY and Devin Dawson (“ONE BEER”) and Luke Bryan (“Drink A Beer”) for an emotional tribute to the loved ones they have both lost.

Concluding her 15-stop headlining The Stages Tour last night, Alaina has donated $1 for every ticket sold throughout the tour to her foundation, My Kinda People – contributing to several causes that are meaningful to her and her “Kinda People.”

“I was introduced to the world on the Ryman stage in my American Idol audition 16 years ago. It was the perfect and only place to end The Stages Tour,” Alaina shares. “It was even more special because the night supported our military heroes who sacrifice so much for us.”

At the start of the show, Alaina announced her new My Kinda People initiative with the Fisher House Foundation. An exclusive signed CD,“For The Boots,” was available for purchase and included “Boots On The Ground” and a Live at The Opry performance of “When You Say Nothing At All” featuring her dad and brother, Tyler. For those who were unable to attend the show, the remaining signed CDs are available for purchase as well as an Amazon exclusive “Boots On The Ground” t-shirt. All proceeds will go to the Fisher House Foundation, helping military and veteran families when a loved one is in the hospital.

After nine years of dedication to her craft, Lauren recently topped the charts at country radio, earning her fourth No.1 with smash hit “All My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew), becoming one of only five female country artists to reach the top of the charts in 2026, joining an elite group of powerhouses including Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Stella Lefty, and Taylor Swift. Alaina is now one of eight women to have earned multiple Country Airplay No.1s this decade. Adding to her milestones, Alaina performed “Never Been In Love” (which features childhood friend Kane Brown) on Live with Kelly and Mark last month from her 17-song collection Stages. The confessional track has become Alaina’s highest streaming debut to date.
