KIP MOORE does impromptu shows – has dinner with some fans. He’s very serious about his message. It has to be real, and he hates it when other artists try to be someone they’re not. “I see people doing a lot of things on social media that are not really in their character but they’re trying so hard to be like, ‘Look at me.’ If I take a morning selfie with my shirt off and I show my physique and do this sexy face to the camera, am I going to gain more followers? Yeah, maybe I’ll get some teenybopper followers, but I don’t think that equates to anything real and tangible. “If you’re going to gain people that way, I think you essentially cheapen it in the long run.”
