In January 2026, Chris Stapleton stepped onto a stage at Hard Rock Live with nothing but some old-fashioned lightbulbs and a guitar. He did not need a giant screen to capture the room. He just needed to sing ‘Think I’m in Love With You.’
He stands there quiet yet bold. His wife, Morgane, stands right beside him witht her voice merged with his. It is the kind of music that makes you remember why you loved songs in the first place.
Chris Stapleton – Think I’m In Love With You (Live)
People who saw it could not stop talking about the energy they had. One viewer said that they had never heard a crowd get that loud for a song that felt so personal. Another fan mentioned that they felt every note in their chest.
The roar of that Florida crowd eventually faded into a soft hum. But the music did not stop. While that big stage showed his power, there is another side to this story when the lights go down low.

In a much quieter setting, Chris sits down to show how a song like ‘Whiskey and You’ comes to life. He talks about how he picks the strings and why certain words matter more than others.
Chris Stapleton does not care about being a celebrity. He cares about the truth in his melody. His journey from writing hits for others to standing in the spotlight is a lesson in staying true to yourself.
