American musician Kane Allen Brown gained popularity in the public eye on social media. On June 23 in Boston, he made history by performing Drunk or Dreaming; he will return to Fenway Park the following year for his upcoming In the Air tour.

Brown spent some quiet time before taking the stage to reflect on the significance of the Boston concert as a milestone. It's showtime, he reflected. I will put on a show to show these folks how happy I am to have them here and to be here myself.

Brown ensured that his wife, enjoying her first No. 1 single with "Thank God," had her round of applause from the Fenway Park audience. She stated, "I usually think that this song represents us. She is my go-to weapon. It's like 'God put you in my life for a purpose,'" he once stated of Katelyn, whom he married in October 2018.
