Deaton recalls the rehearsal for Stapleton’s career-changing moment, saying: “It was good. I wouldn’t have gone home thinking, ‘That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.’ And then Justin whispered in my ear, ‘Hey man, thank you, don’t worry, we’ll bring it tomorrow night.’ I kind of brushed it away.”
He continues: “And then, that night, they performed it, and I’m like, ‘Now I understand what he was saying.’ Oh my God. I’ve never had a performance that literally sucked the air out of the room. Normally your brain and your mind and your body resets during a commercial break. Yeah, no, there was no resetting. That performance hung over the rest of the show. It just did. It was all anybody could talk about. It changed the room for the rest of the show.”
It’s one of many moments Deaton is proud of, and he’s hoping this year’s show can have similar energy.
