00:12Now that's how it's done, Stagecoach!
00:16I'm excited! Yeah!
00:18This is Billboard All Access.
00:20Here we go!
00:24The vibe is like reunion of all of my friends.
00:30Seeing everybody today, and then I'm going to be here all weekend, so seeing everybody, the vibe is immaculate.
00:35Don't get me wrong, I love all the festival vibes I play, okay?
00:39But Stagecoach just kind of does it the right way.
00:42I just love how they brand it, and it feels like you're almost taken away from the world when you're
00:48a Stagecoach.
00:48And it's just like you and music.
00:56It's kind of surreal still, honestly.
00:58I'll walk out into the arena in the morning, and I just still can't believe.
01:02Dude, I was living with my mom in a trailer, and then now I'm like selling out arenas.
01:06So, yeah, it's like surreal.
01:08I hope the feeling never leaves too, because it's like, it just makes me like, be so appreciative of it,
01:13you know?
01:13I really, I try not to take it for granted, and that really helps me being like,
01:16Man, I can't believe I'm doing this, this is crazy, you know? So, yeah.
01:24I was listening to Brandon, just as a fan, and then I met him after an awards show, and I
01:31realized like, man, just how authentic and raw this guy is.
01:34And that just made me really want to start trying to work with him.
01:37And then it took like a year to get the time to work together, but then in two hours, we
01:43wrote our song, Just Believe.
01:44The first time we got together, you know, after a year of trying to get together, we write it in
01:47like two hours.
01:48So, and the song just means so much to me. I have it like tattooed on my arm.
01:53Like, I've been trying to write Just Believe for like five years, and it was so cool just how awesome
02:00the collaboration was, and how easy it is to work with.
02:02And he just changes your life. He's just so positive, and so easy to be around, and a great friend
02:08right off the rip, you know?
02:09So, yeah, I mean, unbelievable. Just Believe. Yes, Brandon Lake, I love you.
02:20We're about to go out to the grounds with the fans, and see some of my friends. Let's go.
02:25Can I watch side stage, or? Hey, can I watch side stage, or what?
02:31I don't know, I'm just asking. I'm trying to be polite out here, you know?
02:39What do I do? What do I do?
02:42Well, I'm an Ella Fella. I've loved Ella Langley for a long time.
02:45I like to say I was early on her and her music, so to see just her absolutely dominating.
02:50Ah, it's just an honor to be around her every time. She's legend.
02:54Hell by the way, he's just stepping round the room.
02:59Yeah!
03:00The Sydney Sweeney Random Karaoke, perfect, awesome.
03:05It may have went a little crazy, but unbelievable.
03:08You can't make this up, only at Stagecoach.
03:11Before a show, I always pray, try to make sure, you know, what I'm doing is coming from the right
03:16place,
03:16and then we'll all pray in a circle, and then I'll do a bunch of stretches.
03:20I'll warm up, drink some tea and stuff, and then just try to lock in.
03:33Honestly, All The Way is about to go crazy. I've got a special guest coming for that, so it's gonna
03:39be, I think it's gonna go nuts.
03:41So, All The Way is gonna be sick.
03:47I am gonna celebrate, that's what I'm doing. I love celebrating the wins, and everybody's worked so hard to get
03:56just to where we're at right now,
03:58and so we're gonna celebrate all night. And for the next three days, we're going, let's go.
04:12Billboard, I love you so much. Thank you for having me. Once again, I'm Bailey Zimmerman, and I love you.
