Brad Paisley appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show this week, where he chatted with Kelly and also performed his brand new song “Off Road.”

After Kelly asked Brad where’s the most unusual placed he’s performed, Brad shared that being from a small town, when word spread that he was a kid who could perform…it put him in high-demand all over, “I was the teenager that they needed to sing at anything from rotary club luncheons to lions club meetings to mother-daughter banquets, anything. I was the entertainment, but I got booked to sing for toddlers at the library one afternoon…and I don’t recommend that for anybody. You realize quickly that there isn’t any…unless you’re like Raffi or one of those people, that really cater to that…there’s nothing in your arsenal that will work. That is the test of all tests on a performer.” Brad added, “I think I got booed off the stage by, like, five-year-olds.” 

Kelly also showed the clip of Brad getting asked to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Brad, along with Blake Shelton, hosts the NBC special, Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music, this Sunday, February 14th. Talking about the special Brad says, “It’s such a great piece of feel-good retrospective about country both it’s past and its future…and I’m thrilled that they’re doing this.”
