Kane Brown hilariously put a few of his friends to the test.

Brown called Scotty McCreery, Ashley Cooke, Mitchell Tenpenny and Dasha on FaceTime, and held up a green solo cup to the screen to see how long it takes people to cheers me back,” he said as she shared the results on TikTok. McCreery was up first, and returned Brown’s “cheers” in just under 10 seconds. Cooke followed, and completed the challenge in nearly 11 seconds. Tenpenny followed, and ranked No. 1 at about 7 seconds, and Dasha took the longest at nearly 30 seconds. Brown shared the hilarious reactions and announced the release of “Says I Can (The High Road Tour Version),” which features each of the four artists.

McCreery, Cooke, Tenpenny and Dasha are joining Brown on his headlining “The High Road Tour,” which is set to kick off on March. Find the list of tour dates here. Brown just released his highly-anticipated studio record, The High Road, on Friday (January 24). The 18-track album includes “Fiddle In The Band,” “Backseat Driver,” “Miles On It” with Marshmello, “Body Talk” with Brown’s wife, Katelyn Brown, and more. Throughout the record, Brown includes tributes to his family, including Katelyn and the couple’s three young children: Kingsley Rose, 5, Kodi Jane, 3, and Krewe Allen, who was born in June 2024.
