Zach Top has recently posted a cryptic Instagram picture and caption, sparking rumours that he might perform at The CMA Awards with Sammy Kershaw.
The 60th Annual CMA Awards show, hosted by Lainey Wilson, has been a hot topic of conversation this week, particularly surrounding their rejection process of red carpet applications.
Sammy Kershaw, a 90s country star posted his dismay at the rejection he received from the organisation and the internet went wild, with fellow artists like Riley Green and Jake Owen jumping in with their opinions and shared experiences.
Cue: Zach Top.
Already named as one of the performers for the evening's live show, Top shared a cryptic post on his Instagram, with a message pertaining to his performance.
"Next week I’ll be performing on the CMA Awards," his caption said. "I can promise you one thing, you won’t want to miss it."
Posted underneath a picture of him in his classic cowboy hat, staring at a glass of water.
Top, famous for his whiskey and cigarette old-school country style, isn't often one to promote the values of hydration. So the internet is wondering, what does it mean?
The comments section is rife with possibilities, but there's one recurring suggestion. He's going to perform with Sammy Kershaw.
In and amongst Kershaw's well revered repertoire is a 90s hit called, 'Don't Go Near The Water'. Top's picture has him looking at the glass of water like a dangerous temptress. Could that be the song he's singing?
His emphasis on not missing the performance suggests that it'll be more than a cover. At the height of Kershaw vs The CMAs, a monumental reconciliation would be for Kershaw to perform at the awards show.
Top already has the classic 90s sound, reminiscent of the Alan Jacksons and Keith Whitleys of the time, making this the perfect pairing.
As of now, the rumours are just that. But something is brewing and it's bigger than Zach Top drinking a glass of water.
