Most of the world today would probably agree that this year was a year that we all would like to forget. No doubt this was the worst year for most of us and we would not be sorry to say goodbye to 2020. However, there were more fun and uplifting moments in 2020 than we all might think of, especially if you’re one of the loyal fans of country music.

For the past years, country music artist seemed to be superheroes that no one could touch. This year, it seemed like superman and superwoman’s cape got ripped off them. With all of our favorite country artists off the road and like most of us are isolated in their homes, we have seen them turn into online-home performances and have been more immersed with their social media as the main way that they communicate to their fans.

We have been blessed with a rare opportunity to see inside the homes and real lives of our favorite country stars. Here are some of the brightest spots from our favorite country artists this 2020.
