Brett Young Gets ‘Stepped On’ During Airport Sleep

Brett Young may be a successful country star, but in some ways, he is just like us. He proved that recently, when his flight was canceled, and he had to sleep on the floor of the Dallas airport.

Brett posted a photo of his bruised arm on Instagram. He captioned the curious photo, explaining, "I had a dream my flight got canceled, and I had to sleep on the floor at the Dallas airport… and someone stepped on my arm in the middle of the night… bruises confirmed it was in fact not a dream."

Many fans reacted to the post. One fan joked, "I had a dream that I was in the airport, and I stepped on someone's arm while he was sleeping!!" Another fan commented, "Wow, hope all is good that airport is not the nicest." One more concerned fan said, "Oh no, Brett, that is not okay!.. I hope you feel better soon!."

Even though Young is a married man and father of two beautiful little girls, he sometimes sits in his driveway to cry over a sad song. Brett believes that most people are also a sucker for a good sad song.

Brett  told us, "I think that that's what people connect with the most, matters of the heart, right? You can write all the party songs in the world; we need those, too. But I don't think people are deeply invested in those. I think that's when they like wanna turn up or kinda turn their brain off."

He adds, "I think for me, if I'm listening to something, even right now I'm happily married with two beautiful little girls, and I hear a new sad song that I think is well written that I can relate to, I'll still sit in my driveway and cry to it all by myself."

Major League Baseball kicks off today (3/30) with the season's first games. As we mark the start of a new season, we look at country singers who have also played baseball either through high school, semi-professional, or as a country superstar with baseball dreams to fulfill.

Let's count down five country stars who have also spent a reasonable amount of time in the batter's box.

Eric played many sports in high school. He played baseball, basketball, football, and golf until a knee injury during his sophomore year in high school derailed his dreams of going pro. He told Greensboro.com a few years back, "I even played golf because, in my junior and senior years of high school, I realized that if you were a golfer, you got to leave at 10 a.m. to go to matches. You didn't have to be at school all day, and, well, that's me right there (laughs). So I picked up golf real quick when I realized you got to get out of class."

Kenny played baseball at Corryton, Tennessee's Gibbs High School. He told ESPN several years ago why he was a die-hard Red Sox fan. He said, "It's a product of, oddly enough, where I grew up. I didn't grow up in the Northeast or New England at all. But when I was a kid, growing up, we didn't have cable.The only access to baseball I had was 'This Week in Baseball,' and I looked forward to that as a kid. The only games they had on Saturdays always seemed like the Red Sox or Cincinnati Reds." He added, "I loved those two teams growing up. Even playing Little League, I wanted to be on either the Reds or the Sox as a kid, so that's where it started."
