Brett Eldredge offered a life update after some social media users noticed his posts becoming increasingly more rare.
The singer-songwriter explained that he’s had some people ask him “if I’m ok,” since he hasn’t posted “for a good while.” Eldredge said he’s “better than ever” as he shared a lengthy update about his life on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon (July 23), and teased new music on Wednesday morning (July 24).
“We live in a world where if it wasn’t posted on social media, then did it really happen? Social media can be a great tool and trust me, through the years I’ve used it way more than I’d like to admit sometimes but more than anything, I love the real stuff…and every time I take out my phone and wonder if I should be posting this certain thing, I realize it steals from the very moment that actually matters. I value personal time and privacy more than ever, I long for new experiences, and meaningful connections with the ones I love the most. Life is so damn fragile and quick. The reality of that is humbling, scary and a non negotiable reminder that if we don’t focus on the good stuff, it will pass us by. So here is my note to say I love you and I wish ya well out there on your journey:). I am making music that I love and the life I’ve been living will reflect that. When the day comes that I share it, you will see more of my heart….but for now, back to tending to my garden and getting off this damn phone. 😂”
Eldredge posted behind-the-scenes glimpses in a recording studio in the video he posted on Wednesday. It was set to an instrumental clip from an unnamed song that had some commenters guessing that another Christmas album is on the way (he previously released Glow in 2016 with a deluxe edition in 2018, and Mr. Christmas in 2021). “Whatever it is, I’m excited,” one Instagram user wrote.
