An inside look at Chris Stapleton's Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit: 'America to its core'
The Chris Stapleton exhibit showcases the singer's rise to fame, having started out his career as a songwriter and background singer and achieving success where he is now.
Chris Stapleton had a surprising reaction to the moment he moved Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to tears with his rendition of the national anthem.
The moment went viral, but the country star told Entertainment Tonight he hadn't seen it yet, and in fact may never see it all.
"I don't know if I can watch it, man," Stapleton told the outlet. "I try not to watch myself back too much."
Sirianni went viral for his emotional reaction to the performance, and addressed it at the post-game press conference.
