It’s not every day that fans get a chance to rub elbows with their favorite country music stars, especially at an exclusive fan club party.
You can imagine the disappointment when Eric Church reportedly failed to show up at his highly anticipated fan club party at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
According to a tweet from a dedicated Eric Church fan who had shelled out a hefty $150 for the event, the party promised attendees a memorable experience. Fans were excitedly looking forward to getting their hands on exclusive merchandise, enjoying a couple of drinks, and most importantly, meeting their beloved Chief himself. But, alas, it wasn’t meant to be as the singer was allegedly a no-show. The mysterious absence of Eric Church left fans feeling bewildered and let down.
@mattleimkuehler Eric Church had a fan club party today. $150 a head at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Everyone got a t-shirt, 2 drink tickets and were treated to an ad for his new whiskey. He didn’t show up.

And if that wasn’t enough to stir up controversy, Eric Church’s recent performance at CMA Fest didn’t exactly go as planned either.
The acclaimed superstar took to the main stage at Nissan Stadium, promising fans a night they would never forget. But instead, Church delivered a short setlist of only six songs, omitting some of his biggest hits.
Fans were left scratching their heads as Church opted for deep cuts like “Bad Mother Trucker” and a cover of Little Feat’s “Sailin’ Shoes.” While these songs may be beloved by die-hard fans, many were expecting crowd favorites like “Springsteen” or “Record Year.” To make matters worse, Church abruptly ended his performance after “Smoke a Little Smoke,” leaving the crowd in shock and disappointment.
A lot of disappointed and confused people tonight with @ericchurch but going back and watching the video it definitely looks like he just finished the set and said goodnight… albeit 8 minutes early. #cmafest pic.twitter.com/9fW4z9xCXp
