Tennessee Volunteers legend Peyton Manning took Nashville by surprise this week, showing up at Losers Bar and belting out David Allan Coe’s classic “You Never Even Called Me By My Name.” The surprise performance came while Manning was in town to co-host the 58th Annual CMA Awards alongside Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson.
Manning’s Unexpected Stage Moment
While Manning is known for his legendary football career, his unexpected appearance on stage showcased a different side of the former Vols quarterback. Despite his singing not being the most polished version of the iconic country tune, the crowd at the bar was left in awe, as the once-in-a-lifetime moment became a viral sensation.
A Memorable Tennessee Moment
The impromptu performance felt fitting in Tennessee, a state rich with country music and sports history. The viral video of Manning singing, though not necessarily a perfect rendition, became an instant favorite for fans both for the surprise factor and the pure fun of it all.
