Dustin Lynch Says He 'Would Be Totally Down' to Join 'Yellowstone' Universe
"I grew up on a horse, so I'm comfortable in that situation," the Tennessee native said
Dustin Lynch has expressed interest in joining the neo-Western drama Yellowstone!
The 37-year-old country star told ET at Thursday's Academy of Country Music Awards that he would be pleased to join the franchise — like fellow country singer and series' season 5 star Lainey Wilson.
"I would be totally down. Absolutely, yes," Lynch said. "I grew up on a horse, so I'm comfortable in that situation for sure. I can farm a little bit."
Lynch's statement came as the singer was nominated for his first ACM Award in his career. His single, "Thinking 'Bout You," featuring MacKenzie Porter was nominated for Music Event of the Year.
Although HARDY and Lainey Wilson's "Wait in the Truck" took home the award, Lynch told ET how he is still "so grateful. It's really cool — 'Thinking 'Bout You' has changed my life and MacKenzie's."
"To have a nomination is such a great tip of the hat from the industry," he said. "We're so pumped."
