‘AGT’ Fans Are Showing Up for Drake Milligan After a Shocking Tour Update on IG

He may have not won America’s Got Talent, but Drake Milligan‘s music career continues to pick up speed.

During his tenure on season 17 of the hit NBC series, the musician continuously impressed audiences (and AGT judge Simon Cowell) with his original take on country music. While he ended up placing third after Kristy Sellars and winners The Mayyas, he hasn’t let that stop him from taking his songs out on the road. In fact, he recently performed tunes from his new album Dallas/Fort Worth in his hometown and it was an emotional experience. Drake opened up about what it was like playing at the historic Billy Bob’s Texas venue where country music legends have performed since 1981.

“Last night was unreal. I’ve been dreaming about headlining @BillyBobsTexas for as long as I can remember,” Drake captioned a series of on Instagram photos on September 24. “Never dreamed it would be this soon.”
