Bailey Zimmerman bared all last month when he stripped down to his underwear at Stagecoach music festival in Indio, CA. Now, the 24-year-old is sharing exactly what was going through his mind as he unbuttoned and unzipped in front of thousands with freshly spray-tanned skin.

“People buy a ticket and they expect to see a show, so I was like, ‘Take your clothes off, man. Do it!’” Bailey said of what went through his mind when he was told he had to end his set early due to severe weather. Determined to “Give them a freakin’ show,” in any way he could to make up for the shortened set, Zimmerman started to strip, and has absolutely no regrets in his efforts to make people smile in an unfortunate situation.

“I’ve never been scared to be that guy,” he shared of doing something goofy. “I just want to have fun, I just want to make sure everybody is happy, everybody was goin’ home at least goin’ ‘We might not have been able to hear the songs we wanted to, but I got his pants.’”

The confidence to bare all in front of thousands is next level and for Bailey, a large part of that confidence was knowing he had sun-kissed skin to show off underneath his clothes.

“I’m tired of hiding it, I get freakin’ spray tans and that’s fine cause I’m human and I was born with like, the whitest skin, I am like a ghost,” he stated. “Sometimes, I wanna be tan with everybody else and it’s fun to be tan, OK?”

He continued, “Quit thinking it’s weird to get a spray tan. Everybody looks better with a spray tan, you look better with a spray tan and it’s fun. Ernest has been saying, ‘Legalize Country music,’ I say, ‘Legalize men’s spray tans and quit judging me, bro!’”

His spray tan secret hasn’t been the only thing under wraps for Zimmerman, who also shared new music is in the works, but he’s not ready to share it quite yet.

Teasing fans with the first new taste of what’s to come with his new release, “Holy Smokes,” Zimmerman promises when it does come it’ll be fresh, yet familiar to his fans worldwide.

“’Holy Smokes’ for me, was something fresh, that sounded a little different, but also, was still me,” he said of the song, before sharing he’s aiming to release more new music in the fall.  “2024 is a time for me to try things that I haven’t tried before [but] also stick on the same things and write… that’s what I’m chasin’ with this new album that’s hopefully coming in the fall. I don’t know yet though, I won’t turn it in if it’s not perfect.”
