Could Machine Gun Kelly be the next artist to take a dip in the Country pool? The Alternative Rocker/Rapper gave fans a glimpse at his Country side with a cover of Zach Bryan’s track "Sun To Me," which left fans wondering if there’s more southern-inspired sounds to come.

“Hope you don’t mind, i added some of my vibe to your song,” MGK wrote with a clip of his cover, tagging Country superstar, Zach Bryan.
While some might say the Country cover is nothing to read into, others believe it could be the start of a Country era for the 34-year-old as Country crossovers have been a hot trend over the last year.
With other hitmakers like Beyoncè, Post Malone taking their own stab at Country music, fans can’t help but wonder if MGK is the next to give it a try — after all, he is a Texas native. Whether he’s in for a full-blown Country project or not, there’s no doubt he’s been spending a lot of time in Nashville recently — which could be influencing new music.
Earlier this year, he was spotted at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry supporting pal, Jelly Roll, who has taken the genre by storm after time on the Rock charts. "I could see MGK doing more than one collaboration [with me],” Jelly Roll told Entertainment Tonight just one month later. “That's my guy. We might have something cooking. He later confirmed he, MGK, Travis Barker and Yungblud are working on “something big” together.
MGK hasn’t denied anything and recently stated, "I'm in the kitchen, and it's southern fried.” He was also a performer at Blake Shelton’s Bar during CMA Fest — the largest Country music festival in the world.
Sounds like there’s definitely more to come, but for now, fans will have to try their patience.
