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.
