‘AGT’ Finalist Drake Milligan Surprised By Amount Of Country Music Fans Overseas

During Drake Milligan’s recent tour overseas, the former America’s Got Talent finalist was surprised by the amount of country music fans he encountered on his travels. The rising country star just released a music video for his recent hit single, “I Got A Problem,” but the singer clearly didn’t have a problem connecting with fans while on tour in Europe and Australia. “You’ll find country music fans pretty much everywhere in Europe,” says the 26-year-old Milligan, who rose to fame by portraying Elvis Presley on the CMT series, Sun Records.  “I recently headlined a huge country music festival in Norway, and it was thousands and thousands of people,” Milligan recalls. “It was me and Joe Nichols, and the rest of the singers were Norwegian singing in Norwegian, but it was real country! And you could tell they love the real-deal country music. That one blew me away. I was like, ‘Who would’ve thought?'” (People)
