Though he went home empty-handed, Shaboozey had a heckuva night at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 2), where he performed a medley of his hits alongside the other best new artist nominees.

When Billboard caught up with the “Good News” singer backstage after the ceremony — where he was up for five awards — and asked him what his plans were for following up his 19-week Hot 100 No. 1 smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey said one of the items on his to-do list is a team-up with another country chart superstar.


“Stuff’s comin’, man, stuff’s comin’,” Shaboozey said about a potential collaboration with pal Morgan Wallen. “He shot me a text the other day and it’s just good that he’s doing good, taking care of himself, putting out some new music that I feel the world is excited about… and ready for.”

As for his next iteration, Shaboozey said he can’t wait for fans to hear what the follow-up to his breakthrough 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. “I’m so excited about it [my upcoming music]. I feel like I’m now coming into my own,” he said. “This [Grammy Awards] is just an extra treat on top of everything I’ve done so far in my career. I can’t wait to keep it going.”

Shaboozey also said that being nominated in the “big four” Grammy categories — including song of the year and best new artist — was “amazing. Honestly, to be in the big four after just one year of really figuring out the type of music I wanted to make, the sound I wanted to get, the type of songs I wanted to write?” he said. “It’s amazing and honestly I hope that I keep coming and this isn’t just the only year I get to do this.”

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
