So who could it be? Fans are guessing Joe Nichols, Chase Rice, Alan Jackson, or Garth Brooks.
Sounds like @JoeNichols to me

ITS CHASE RICE!!!! The country singer who was a football player before becoming a musician, and whose song “Bench Seat” is about his experience being benched!!!

Has to be Alan Jackson, sounds just like him

I was wrong on Kenny Chesney I believe, but definitely Garth Brooks for sure I’m actually 💯

But Whiskey Riff breaks down why they think it’s actually Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line!
Let’s break down the clues 👇
The Mad Scientist Monster described himself as someone who was “on the path to become the best in his field” but got “sidelined”—and later found a new purpose. That alone sounds like Kelley, who was once a promising college baseball player before an injury redirected his focus to music.
The character also revealed that he’s “reinventing himself,” may have been in a boy band, and met his significant other at a Friendsgiving dinner, though they didn’t reconnect until later.
As for the on-screen clues:
-
Cruise ship = FGL’s biggest hit, “Cruise”
-
Baseball radar gun = Kelley’s past as a scouted college baseball player
-
Friendsgiving clue = Kelley met his wife Brittany at a Thanksgiving dinner before reconnecting later ❤️
