Scotty McCreery, his wife, Gabi, and his 11-month-old son, Merrick Avery McCreery, rang in the start of football season in style over the weekend!
On Monday morning (Sept. 11), the “Cab In A Solo” singer took to social media to share a series of photos, featuring his picture-perfect family sporting football gear and cheering on their favorite teams.
Team Spirit
The post featured four pictures, including two where McCreery and his son sported matching New England Patriots jerseys with McCreery and the number one emblazoned on the back on Sunday (Sept. 10). Another photo in the carousel captured McCreery, his wife, and son attending the North Carolina State University Wolfpack game in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday (Sept. 9).
“First football weekend of the year! 🏈” McCreery captioned the carousel of images.
Despite being from North Carolina, Scotty McCreery has always been a longtime fan of the New England Patriots. He often writes about the football team on social media as well as sports their gear on a regular basis.
In October of 2022, Scotty McCreery and his son, who was a newborn at the time, wore matching ensembles as they cheered on the Patriots together from McCreery’s home in The Tar Heel State just days after Avery’s birth.
“Avery’s first NFL Sunday! Go Pats, buddy!” McCreery captioned the photo at the time.
Cheering On The Patriots
Ahead of Avery’s birth, the New England Patriots sent McCreery a gift, a custom baby jersey.
“Baby’s first jersey!!!” he wrote in his Instagram stories at the time, sharing a snapshot of the adorable child-sized Patriots’ jersey and a letter from the sports team.
Avery will soon celebrate his first birthday as he was born on Monday (Oct. 24). He arrived 11 days ahead of schedule, weighing 7 lbs., 13 oz., and measuring 21 inches.
New Single At Country Radio
The new photos come as McCreery’s current single, “Cab In A Solo,” makes its way into the Top 40 at Country radio, just weeks after its release. “Cab In A Solo” officially impacted Country radio on Monday (Aug. 21), accumulating a staggering 120 first-week adds from radio stations spanning the United States.
“UNREAL🤯🤯🤯 Thank you COUNTRY RADIO!!!” McCreery wrote to celebrate the milestone on Instagram.
The track received the most first week adds of McCreery’s career as well as the largest first week for his label Triple Tigers and the third biggest add day of the year.
Released to streaming platforms on Friday (Aug. 18), ”Cab In A Solo” will appear on McCreery’s forthcoming, yet-to-be-announced new album.
Listen
The overwhelming response from the radio community not only highlights the song’s instant appeal but also underscores Scotty McCreery’s ongoing ability to captivate audiences.
Upon hearing the news, the 29-year-old singer/songwriter quickly reacted to the milestone.
“Wow! I’ve been doing this now for twelve years, and this is the largest add week I’ve ever had and it’s the first time I’ve had the most added song on my first week,” McCreery exclaimed. “Thank you country radio for all your support both now and through the years, and thanks to the Triple Tigers promotion team. I’ll be drinking cab in a solo tonight!”
Scotty McCreery will return to the road this week. He has shows scheduled in Stillwater, Oklahoma (Sept. 15), Midland, Texas (Sept. 16), and Long Beach, California (Sept. 17).
