If you grew up on 2000s country music\u00a0then this list of country stars who\u00a0are 50 years and up will hit hard.<\/p>\n
We left off the obvious singers. For example, everyone knows Dolly Parton<\/a> and George Strait<\/a> are well past 50.\u00a0Featured are 22 singers who either just turned 50, or who still look and sound much younger than the age on their birth certificate.<\/p>\n At the start of this list, you’ll find a country group with several No. 1 hits across the last half-decade. Then there is Gretchen Wilson<\/a>,\u00a0Kenny Chesney<\/a>,\u00a0Keith Urban<\/a>,\u00a0Shania Twain<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tim McGraw<\/a>\u00a0in a category\u00a0of artists that most would likely have guessed are over 50, but still, we included them here, because who doesn’t want to look that good as you age?<\/p>\n Nobody over 60 years old is featured. This list is \u2014 for the most part \u2014 arranged from youngest to oldest, although the age spread in groups disrupts the pattern.<\/p>\n Set to make this list in the near future:\u00a0Eric Church<\/a> (born 1977), Blake Shelton<\/a> (born 1976) and Luke Bryan<\/a> (born 1976). Shoutout to Roland Note<\/a> for help verifying ages.<\/p>\n At the end of this list, find three artists that are knocking on the door of 50. Rascal Flatts<\/a>‘ Joe Don Rooney is one, as in\u00a0September 2025 he’ll join his bandmates in the fifty and fine club. It’s worth mentioning that all three of these artists \u2014 and most of the other 19 \u2014 are still working and touring and doing both at a very high level.<\/p>\n If you grew up on 2000s country music, this list of country stars who are 50 years old or older will hit hard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Over the hill?\u00a0Heck no!
