]]> You never know who’s going to pop-up at a Kenny Chesney show these days. Grace Potter, his duet partner from current single “You And Tequila,” joined the superstar on-stage for a live rendition of their song.

The two played through four songs for the pretty excited crowd: “Life In The Fast Lane,” “All Night Long,” “Rocky Mountain Way,” and “Life’s Been Good.”

“The three nights at Red Rocks were some of the most magical experiences on tour I can ever remember. I told the crowd, ‘I wish I could stay in this moment all summer long.’”

Chesney was recently just named one of Cosmopolitan’s “Hot Guys in Bands.” He placed fifth on the list of men from all genres.
