This is not the first time the two country stars have shared the same stage. Dierks recalls past tours with Miranda while looking forward to the upcoming tour. He said: “Some of my favorite times on tour over the years were with Miranda and her crew. We have a lot in common musically and our fans do too.  It's going to be a killer year.”

Miranda also believes this will be a great tour for fans and performers. “Making music for our fans is the best job in the world,” she said, adding: “It’s especially great being able to take to that music on the road with someone I respect as an artist and human being.
