Cody Johnson’s Not So Unique Halloween Costume
Cody Johnson is a fun dad who loves to go trick-or-treating with his daughters, and the two preteen girls have been everything from goblins to princesses over the years. As Cody shared with us, he likes to spend Halloween night each year with his girls.
Cody told us that one Halloween, he wore a costume that well wasn’t really too far-fetched from who he really is.
Johnson remembers that Halloween costume that wasn’t really unique for him to wear, “Well, my girls, they love dressing up for Halloween, and they’re hilarious, they’ve done everything from princesses to goblins…all kinds of stuff. I love dressing up with them.”
He continued, “The funniest part was, we had a Halloween dress-up party in my barn, and I showed up dressed like I do for a show, and I don’t know how old she was at the time, she might’ve been four, she said ‘Where’s your costume daddy?’ and I said, ‘I’m wearing it.’ She goes, ‘What are you dressed up as?’ I said, ‘A cowboy,’ and she goes, ‘Ohhhh OK.’ And I totally pulled it off, and I thought that was hilarious.”
The day after Halloween, on November 1, Cody releases the Deluxe edition of his Leather album. The new album features his duet with Carrie Underwood.

Johnson has made a big name for himself in country music, singing romantic songs like “The Painter” and his newest song, “Dirt Cheap.” So, growing up and working as a real Texas cowboy, we wondered if Cody was also a hopeless romantic.
Johnson told us, “Yeah, I’ve been married for 15 years. You’ve gotta be, you know. I’m kind of a hardheaded rough around the edges cowboy, and I had to intentionally learn how to be romantic because a lot of the times guys like me, think you’re being romantic, and she’s just going, ‘Jesus.'”
He added, “With my wife in particular, I’ve had to really learn her because what I think would be more romantic, so you do the things that she thinks is romantic. Something as simple as ‘I ran your bathwater,’ you know, something simple. My wife’s very simple, and I grew up watching Western movies, and there’s kind of romanticism about all that too.”
Cody’s latest song, “Dirt Cheap,” has that. He says, “‘Dirt Cheap,’ there’s kind of a Western romanticism about it.”
