Gabby wrote, “This is my guy right here! @cadefoehner Happy 4 years of marriage, my dear. Marriage teaches so much, and I’m thankful God gave me YOU to walk it out with. You are my favorite person and always will be. Thank you for being such a stronghold for our family and children. I love you. 10/5/19.”

Many fans responded to the post, including one who wrote, “You have such a great love story! Many more years of happiness and love to you and your family.” Another fan said, “Happy Anniversary. Blessings on many more beautiful years.” One more fan commented, “Congratulations on your 4th anniversary, and God willing, you will have many more blessed anniversaries ahead.”

Cade also posted a photo of his famous wife at a restaurant on his social media. He wrote, “Another inestimable privilege of taking this girl out on a date to celebrate 4 years in covenant. Could I thank the Lord enough for the days with you, my dear Wife? I think not. So may I thank Him simply and often for the daily grace of sharing life with you.”

Barrett pays tribute to men on her new track “Cowboy Back.” Her team describes the new song as “celebrating stand-up guys” with solid values. Gabby wrote the song with Jon Nite and Jesse Frasure.

In a statement about the song, Barrett said, “I was inspired by my wonderful husband, a Texan, when I was writing this one. ‘Cowboy Back’ is all about appreciating the hard-working guys out there with strong values – those who are authentically ‘country.'”

She posted to Instagram, “COWBOY BACK OUT NOW (cowboy emoji) can’t wait to see y’all dancing to this one!”

Country Stars Appreciate Their Teachers and Music Education

  • Carrie Underwood

    Carrie’s mother, Carol, and her two sisters are teachers. Carrie said in a 2020 CMT special honoring teachers, “I have a special place in my heart for this particular group as my sisters are both teachers, and my mom is a retired teacher. Now more than ever, we recognize what an important and difficult job they have.”

    Carrie posted to Twitter about her family of teachers in 2020, “My mom was a teacher, and my 2 sisters are also teachers. It’s so great to see a teacher and her students making a difference in the world! Of course, I’m happy to help!”

  • Thomas Rhett

    Thomas told Good Morning America in 2019 that even though his dad, Rhett Akins, is a successful singer/songwriter, he owes his career to music education at school. He said that he formed a band in sixth grade because of his band teacher. He said that playing the drums was his first instrument. He noted, “I did one football game as a pit band drummer, and that really encouraged me to start this terrible band called the High-Heeled Flip Flops. That really sparked my fire for being in front of people and writing songs.”

    Rhett has played the stage at CMA Fest many times in his career helping the Fest raise money for music education.

  • Kane Brown and Lauren Alaina

    Kane and fellow country star Lauen Alaina not only went to the same middle school in Georgia, they actually sat next to each other in choir class. Alaina said of first meeting Kane at Lakeview Middle School, “I was in choir class one day, and there was a guy sitting next to me. I sat with him every day, but that day, I heard him singing, and he was very shy.” Brown and Alaina credit a music teacher for sparking their love of country music.

  • Luke Combs

    Luke was another country superstar inspired to sing by his choir teacher. Luke attended A. C. Reynolds High School in Ashville, North Carolina. That teacher helped him perform with multiple vocal groups, including performing a solo at a performance at Carnegie Hall. Every year, as school starts in the fall, Luke and his wife Nicole pay off Amazon wish lists for teachers as a surprise, spending thousands of dollars of their own money.

  • Reba McEntire

    Reba enrolled at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and studied to become a public school teacher before being discovered singing at an Oklahoma rodeo and changing her career choice to country singer in the late 1970s. While she never taught her own class, she did complete student teaching and later graduated with a Bachelor’s degree.
