Fans love to live it up at country music concerts.
One group of concertgoers came up with a unique way to turn heads.
And fans at an Alan Jackson concert set the internet on fire with one shocking outfit.
Alan Jackson fans dress up like him in the “Chattahoochee” music video
Country music legend Alan Jackson is on the final tour of his career.
The Last Call: One More For The Road Tour is the swan song for the 66-year-old after he was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease.
“I’ve been touring for over 30 years – my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way and I’m enjoying spending more time at home,” Jackson said. “But my fans always show up to have a good time, and I’m going to give them the best show I can for this Last Call.”
Jackson is one of the icons of 1990s country music and fans only have a few more chances to see him perform live.
A group of women at his concert in Salt Lake City, Utah paid tribute to him by dressing up as him.
The women wore cowboy hats, had blond wigs, fake mustaches, and life jackets in a nod to the music video for Jackson’s 1993 smash hit “Chattahoochee.”

They recorded themselves having the time of their lives dressed up as Jackson at the concert in a video for social media.
“This is a sign to dress up as Alan Jackson and go to his concert before he retires,” the video’s caption stated.
The women were shown on the big screen and a comment on the video said that Jackson mentioned how much he liked their outfits.
Reaction to the outfits on social media was overwhelmingly positive.
Alan Jackson admits that touring has gotten hard for him
Jackson told Today show host Jenna Bush Hager in 2021 that he was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease a decade before.
The condition was making it to where he struggled to walk.
“I have this neuropathy and neurological disease,” Jackson said. “It’s genetic that I inherited from my daddy … There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years. And it’s getting more and more obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.”
He can manage the disease but there’s no cure for it yet.
“It’s not going to kill me. It’s not deadly,” Jackson explained. “But it’s related (to) muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease.”
Jackson said that he never wanted to do a big retirement tour.
The Last Call: One More For The Road Tour began in 2022 with 16 dates.
He announced 10 more shows last year to wrap up his live performing career.
Fans of Alan Jackson only have five concerts left to see him before his curtain call on May 17 in Milwaukee.
