Justin Moore Just Says “No” to Halloween

Many country stars enjoy dressing up for Halloween – and some avoid it altogether. Dial-Global recently spoke with Justin Moore, Big Kenny & Dierks Bentley about their Halloween plans.

“I absolutely hate Halloween,” Just tells Dial-Global. “Everybody makes fun of me ’cause I despise Halloween and I don’t know why. I was a real serious child, which makes no sense because I’m never serious now, but I never wanted to dress up as a kid. My parents, they’re like, ‘You are the strangest kid.’”

As one might expect, the opposite is true for Big Kenny. “Halloween is the great American excuse for everybody to get dressed up, eat, drink and be merry together and spook the dickens out of all the kids and even some dudes like me who are still spookable,” he says. “I’ve always loved to dress up. My kid dresses up every day like it’s Halloween. When any of his friends come over, they’re all dressing up like it’s Halloween. He dressed up like a pirate to go to church. He goes to school dressed like Captain America. He goes to the grocery store dressed like Peter Pan, carrying a light saber. He does not know anything other than that, nor should he when he’s three years old. He’s gonna be a great, inspiring happy soul.”

Unfortunately, Dierks is playing a show in Michigan on Saturday and will miss daughter Evie’s first Halloween. But, he says he and wife Cassidy have found the perfect costume.

“My daughter, she loves to play the drums but then she’ll also take the drum stick and we’ll have a little sword fight,” says Dierks. “And she’s kind of looks like a little Yoda anyway, so we were online looking and got her a little Yoda outfit with the ears and the little cape.”
