We already know that Cody Johnson is nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards.
But after hearing about the sweet thing he does for his kids, we’re convinced he should be nominated for Dad of the Year, too.
The father of two (and soon to be three) tells Taste of Country Nights‘ Evan Paul that he’s guilty of overspending for his kids.
“I’ve always been the guy that’s spent way too much money on a private jet to play a show in like, Wyoming and then be back the next morning for a dance recital, too,” Johnson admits.
According to Stratos Jets, the cost of a private jet rental from Wyoming to Tennessee is anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000, depending on size of jet and route taken.
Most people might take an hour or two off work in order to make it to their child’s dance recital, and it likely doesn’t affect their bottom line too much.
But Johnson might be dropping an average person’s yearly salary in order to be sitting front row and snapping pictures at a recital.
I could tell Johnson was extremely proud as he said this, and wanted it to be a thing that people remembered.
Johnson previously told Taste of Country, “I’m a cowboy, a rancher with a part-time musician job.”
I think we need to remix that thought: He’s a part-time musician who’s also a cowboy, rancher and full-time family man.
When we asked if he does this kind of thing on the regular for his kiddos, the “‘Till You Can’t” singer replied, “They’ve definitely got daddy wrapped around their finger.”
We’ll take that as a yes.
