Country music star Parker McCollum goes one-on-one with FOX 26 ahead of Rodeo performance (FULL INTERVIEW)

Country music star and Conroe-native, Parker McCollum caught up with our Sally Mac after he was named the headliner for 2023's Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

Some fans said they woke up as early as 4 a.m. to line up, while others said they pulled an all-nighter just to meet their favorite artist.

"I started out a long time ago, and I don’t think I could’ve got even one single person to come out here and care that I was at Cane’s, so it’s very humbling to see that many people take time out of their working day and their school day to come out," McCollum said.

He also surprised dozens of his fans with Rodeo tickets. But come Tuesday night, he’s got an even bigger surprise to unveil.
