White House Performance
During the administration of George W. Bush, Kenny was invited to a state dinner with John Howard, the Australian Prime Minister. The POTUS wanted Kenny Chesney to serenade the guests and perform at the event. As a gesture of gratitude, Bush gave the country star a pair of cowboy boots made with eel skin that had been designed by the talented Rocky-Carroll. They were even engraved with Kenny’s initials, as well as the flags of both the United States and Australia. The musician and the former head of state met again when Kenny performed the national anthem during the 2008 White House Tee Ball All-Star Game.

Reese Witherspoon Paid To Sing With Him
Charity-givers and music-lovers got together during the New Orleans House of Blues to help support the charities of celebrities Matthew McConaughey and Drew Brees. TMZ reported that Reese Witherspoon pledged $24,000 to the charities in order to snag the opportunity to sing a duet with Kenny Chesney. Together, they sang “Jackson” by Johnny Cash, and the actress was highly prepared for this as she won an Academy Award for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk The Line. She did miss a word every now and then, though the crowd loved the performance regardless.
