Brad Paisley Gifts Guitar At Deni Ute Muster, While Also Ribbing On Blake Shelton

Brad Paisley closed the Deni Ute Muster on Saturday, October 1 in Deniliquin, NSW with a set that was full of surprises.

As well as looking through the phone of a woman in the front row, revealing a photo of a well-endowed horse, amongst others, he joked, “I mean, holy crap! Why is that on there? I would say ‘he’s hung like a horse’, but he is. Why are you taking pictures of your horse’s junk? I’m not even gonna get into the things you guys are into down here.”

Paisley also shocked the crowd when he gifted a white electric guitar to one lucky young fan.

Spotting a sign in the audience, Paisley said, “Oh, look at that! That [sign] says, ‘Hey Brad, my parent’s named me Paisley after you',” adding, “That is such a better name than Shelton.”

“I hope I never do anything to make you change it to Chesney or something,” he later remarked as he began to play This Is Country Music on the guitar he later delivered to the young girl.

“Learn how to play it, Paisley. With a name like Paisley, I hope you get good at [playing guitar], write songs about your boyfriend’s when they break up with you and you’ll be a billionaire like Taylor Swift,” he joked. “Next time I’m down here, I’m opening for Paisley.” 

Paisley is currently on tour in Australia playing his first ever headline shows, supported by Morgan Evans and MacKenzie Porter. He has one more show at Sydney’s Qudos Arena on Wednesday, October 5 before he heads across to New Zealand for a show on Saturday, October 8 at Auckland's Spark Arena, where Kaylee Bell will join as opener.

The global country music superstar has earned his place in country music history as one of the genre’s most talented and decorated artists. Over the past 21 years, his songwriting and unmatched showmanship have won him numerous awards, including three GRAMMYs, two American Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards and 15 Academy of Country Music Awards among many others.

A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001, Paisley has written 21 of his 24 number one hits, has amassed over 4.6 billion career streams and in 2008 became the first artist to achieve 10 consecutive Billboard Country Airplay number one singles.
