McCollum previously revealed that he wanted to share their first dance to George Strait’s classic hit, “I Cross My Heart,” however, it’s unclear what song the couple danced to during their reception.

The “To Be Loved By You” singer will return to the road on April 9 at House Of Blues Orlando. 

McCollum recently earned his second consecutive No. 1 at country radio with his single “To Be Loved By You,” a song that was inspired by Hallie Ray. The song went No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country charts.

McCollum’s song topped the charts the same week that he made his childhood dream come true as he performed for 73,000 fans at the famed Houston Rodeo at NRG Stadium in his home state of Texas.

“It’ll be years before I truly look back and realize what happened this week,” shares McCollum. “I was nervous that all my hard work and sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it in the long run. Well, after selling out RodeoHouston and having my second No. 1 I can assure you all–it was damn worth it. Every single last bit of it was worth it.”

“To Be Loved By You” follows his first-ever chart-topping hit, “Pretty Heart,” both of which appear on his major-label debut album, Gold Chain Cowboy.
