When Chris Young released his current single, “Gettin’ You Home,” he subtitled it “The Black Dress Song,” owing to the signature line about a woman shedding her garment after a night of fine dining.
Thanks to that song, Chris has begun to encounter other kinds of women’s apparel on the road. Beginning with a show in Iowa, female fans started throwing their bras on stage during his concerts in response to the song’s sexual message.
