Inside the Gold Chain Cowboy-Themed Birthday Bash for a 4-Year-Old Parker McCollum Superfan

Anyone who thinks they’re Parker McCollum’s biggest fan might have just been outshined by four-year-old Jaxon who celebrated his latest birthday with a Gold Chain Cowboy themed celebration.

Dianne shared a snippet of the young boy’s adorable party to TikTok and quickly racked up nearly 80k views on one video. The clip showed Jaxon, who goes by Jax, standing in front of a large banner with an enlarged image of McCollum’s 2021 major label debut album, Gold Chain Cowboy, with a bright gold chain balloon hanging just above.

Donning a button-up shirt and a black baseball cap and of course, a gold chain around his neck, the young boy strummed away on the miniature black guitar while confidently belting out the chorus to “What Kinda Man,” into a gold microphone.

After seeing the clever birthday theme gain traction on social media, we caught up with Jax’s mom, Lana, to learn more about their idea to channel the Texas country music star.

“He was adamant that it be a Parker McCollum themed birthday party for months prior. I chose the Gold Chain Cowboy theme because that was the first album of Parker’s that Jax loved.”

Along with Jax treating his guests to a karaoke session that featured hours of the young fan singing some of his favorite Parker McCollum songs, the party also offered a Parker McCollum cake alongside BBQ and brownies because as Lana explained, those were the foods that came up when she searched online for McCollum’s “favorite food.” Plus, those in attendance were gifted gold chains as party favors so that everyone could join in channeling the “Handle On You” singer.

When it came to gifts, Lana says Jax requested that every item be related to his favorite country artist. It seems that his wish was certainly granted as he received two gold chains, a gold microphone, a microphone stand, white tee shirts to match McCollum’s typical look, posters, new boots a Parker McCollum hat and a black guitar, to name a few.

“He loves to watch Parker McCollum’s music videos and is very attentive to details- so he knows the exact outfits Parker wears in his music videos! He even requested a ‘ripped up and burned up shirt like Parker wears in Burn it Down.’ Which was given to him by his preschool teacher! She also gifted him his dupe of the red Fresh Western hat, which he was so excited to have he didn’t take it off for days.”

While Parker McCollum unfortunately could not attend the party himself, Jax’s mom still made sure that her little one felt special on his big day.

“I did order him the new Parker McCollum CD with the signed paper in it and it was addressed to Jaxon Williford from Parker McCollum, so as far as he knows, Parker sent him a birthday present because he couldn’t make it to his party,” she explained.

The celebration being centered around the Gold Chain Cowboy project was the perfect full-circle moment as Jax’s love for the hitmaker began while listening to this collection in the truck with his dad around a year old. That passion has never wavered. Leading up to the release of his brand new, self-titled project, Lana claims Jax would listen to the tracks on the way to daycare and would have them memorized within the week before the next song came out.

After learning so many songs, Jax now enjoys hosting daily concerts in their home, and has even gotten his 2-year-old sister interested in the music. Currently, his favorite Parker McCollum songs are “Burn It Down,” “What Kinda Man,” “To Be Loved by You” and “Sunny Days”.

Jaxson has never seen Parker McCollum in concert, however, he has a very special surprise in store because Lana revealed they are planning to take him to McCollum’s tour stop in Woodlands, TX on Sept 6. This will mark Jax’s first-ever country concert and is sure to be a night to remember.
