At the Academy of Country Music Awards, Lynch expressed he wanted to be cast in the “Yellowstone” spinoff and believed he would fit right in with the Western drama.
“I would be totally down. Absolutely, yes,” Lynch said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I grew up on a horse, so I’m comfortable in that situation for sure,” Lynch said. “I can farm a little bit.”
The 37-year-old musician may have been inspired by country artist Lainey Wilson who stars in season five of the Kevin-Costner-led drama.
