Blake Shelton and Carson Daly's show Barmageddon is coming back to the USA Network for a second season. This time around, along with celebrity guests, the show is casting regular people to participate in the fun bar games-based show.

Blake posted on his Instagram last night (2/8), "Let's see y'alls best fail videos, people!!! Now casting for @barmageddonusa season 2!!!! Swipe right for more info. #Barmageddon."

Fans were thrilled the show was coming back, with many responding to Shelton's post. One fan wrote, "Yea, season 2! Can't wait!" Another fan commented, "Absolutely loved the silly show. Opening w Blake singing is great. Bravo. Here's to season 2." One more fan suggested, "Let real folks be the contestants, not just stars!!! Looks like so much fun."

When the show first came out in late 2022, Shelton told People of his and his buddy Carson Daly's idea for the show, "What we were aiming for was real-life The Hangover. We wanted to try to capture that in a TV show with people that we know." He added of the guest stars, "Unfortunately for Gwen and Sheryl [Crow], they were the very first episode that we actually taped. Gwen had to be the guinea pig for everybody else. She and Sheryl both did so well and just let their hair down and went for it. They set the bar for the tone and personality of the series. It gave us the confidence to say, 'We really can do this. If these two icons are willing to be on this show and do shots of gross stuff and play absolutely stupid games, then we know we have something here,'"

Hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, the game show saw Blake's pals and loved ones, including Stefani, Crow, Trace Adkins, Kane Brown, and more. The first season took place at Shelton's Ole Red bar in Nashville. No word yet on if the second season will be there as well.

Many country music stars love their sports teams, whether it be basketball, college football, or baseball. And when it comes to the NFL, let's just say that some country stars go all out for their teams of choice.

A native of East Tennessee, Kenny Chesney is a Tennessee Vols fan when it comes to college football, but when it comes to the NFL, he's a lifelong fan of The Pittsburgh Steelers. While he has played Heinz Field (now called Acrisure Stadium) many times, he visited the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp in 2015 to watch his favorite team in action.

Chris, who was based in Texas and played there almost exclusively before hitting it big in Nashville, is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. He was quite happy over the weekend (1/16) when his beloved Dallas Cowboys beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to advance in the playoffs. He was so pleased he posted a video on his socials from a trip to Hawaii to cheer his team on.

Blake loves the Arizona Cardinals and even took his then-girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, to a game in 2015 when they were dating. He always posts on social media about his team, and as they say, "He bleeds Arizona red." The now-married couple went to another game of Blake's fave team in November (2022) when his Cardinals played the Los Angeles Rams.

Darius Rucker is definitely country music's most passionate NFL football fan. He famously said that he has two seasons, "football season and waiting for football season." A lifelong Miami Dolphins fan, he often sings that National Anthem at their games and did so this past September 2021 when the Dolphins played the Buffalo Bills. When he fronted Hootie and The Blowfish, he wrote the band's biggest song, "I Only Want To Be With You," in college when he was so upset that his Dolphins were losing, he started to cry, and his mother called him a baby. Rucker also has his own line of NFL wear.
