Travis Tritt has withstood the test of time, as his songs still resonate with today’s younger country audience, and that audience has been showing him the love on social media over the years.
Tritt told me that fans both young and old message him a lot on social media — some with pictures of his own face tattooed onto various body parts.
He was a guest on Taste of Country Nights in 2023, and when I was going through the archives, I found this tidbit that I just had to share with you.
I asked the “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” singer if he has seen his face tattooed on anyone’s body before.
Tritt said, “I have, I have. People have sent me photos on Twitter [X] or Instagram of face tattoos that they’ve had done over the years. It’s really a compliment.”
Tritt says he actually finds it humbling.

“I remember seeing so many people that were huge fans of people like Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, y’know, people like that that had their faces tattooed on their bodies at some point or another. It’s always complimentary, it’s a huge compliment — just shows how much of a fan they really are.”
What Were Travis Tritt’s Biggest Songs?
Tritt had a total of 5 No.1 hits on the country charts:
- “Help Me Hold On” (1990)
- “Anymore” (1991)
- “Can I Trust You With My Heart” (1992)
- “Foolish Pride” (1994)
- “Best of Intentions” (2000)
Interestingly enough, Tritt explained to me how “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” was never a No.1 song for him, but over the years it has gotten even more popular.
He told me, “It started catching on with a lot of the younger people, and there’s a lot of people today that are in their 20s or whatever, or teens, that basically relate to that song, that’s the main song from me that they know.”
