The 37-year-old artist has been recording albums since 2006, although his first from a major label was "Ain't Nothin' to It." The 2019 release hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and featured the song "Dear Rodeo," which he performed with Reba McEntire.

Johnson was born in Texas, and he has a background in bull riding.

"I left the rodeo because I just wasn't good enough," he told the country music magazine Holler. "As a bull rider, you're either born with something like that, or you have enough athletic ability to adapt while you're still learning the ropes. I didn't have either. I had the passion, but that just wasn't where God wanted me to be."

"My manager Howie was like, 'Would you rather sing the anthem or do the first pitch?'" he said at the time. "I was like, 'Man, I've never done the first pitch.' So this is going to be my first time ever to get to do it, and it means a lot."

There's people in this crowd that agree with Biden. Guess what? That is your God-given American right to believe whatever you want."
