Hit the link so you don&#8217;t miss it!\u201d, with the link directing fans to sign-up to his official mailing list. <\/p>\n<p>Crucially, this \u201cbig news\u201d teaser arrived on his Stories at almost exactly the same time the Washington native uploaded a snippet of a new unreleased song to his Instagram feed. <\/p>\n<p>The track, which appears to be called \u201cHe Said She Said\u201d, is a clever play on the titular phrase, with Top recalling a romantic encounter in a bar where someone else acts as a go-between while he plucks up courage to talk to a woman. When his friend returns from talking to her, he hangs on every word that \u201che said she said\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\n          <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DW10t8AD82A\/embed\" width=\"400\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n        <\/p>\n<p>After hinting during a GRAMMYs red carpet interview that he&#8217;d been writing in Nashville, the neo-traditional trailblazer confirmed in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/holler.country\/news\/breaking\/zach-top-reveals-alan-jackson-and-his-wife-werent-the-biggest-fans-of-the-dad-conspiracy\/\">a February 2026 chat with<em> Holler<\/em><\/a> that he&#8217;s been working on new music since dropping <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health<\/em> last summer. <\/p>\n<p>Top explained, \u201cI&#8217;m always writing, just stacking up stuff. I like to do it that way &#8211; just write songs as they come to me and not sit down and feel like I gotta write the next record, like it&#8217;s an assignment. Keep stacking up songs as we go when there&#8217;s time to do it. Then, when it comes time that it&#8217;s like, \u2018Alright, let&#8217;s put together a record\u2019, you can go back and listen through all the stuff you&#8217;ve stacked up and decide what fits where. And if you&#8217;re still missing something, you can try and write that last missing piece. Yeah, that&#8217;s kind of the mode we&#8217;re in now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, he did qualify this by underlining that the priority is still to promote his sophomore album, <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health<\/em>, with Top suggesting he probably wouldn&#8217;t turn his attention to the follow-up record until next year, \u201cWe&#8217;re still very focused on <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health<\/em>, and well, I feel like we&#8217;ve barely started touring that new music, you know? So people really haven&#8217;t had hardly any time to live with it compared to the first record, which came out in April 2024. We&#8217;re coming up on two years now. So, yeah, we&#8217;ll wear that new record out this whole year, I imagine, and then turn our focus to a new one sometime in 2027\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>The only other indication we&#8217;ve had from Top that he&#8217;s creating new material is when, in a hilarious video bemoaning a terrible round of golf he&#8217;d played earlier that day, he joked that he was \u201ctrying to write a song that could encapsulate the level of sorrow that I feel\u201d. It then dawned on him that \u2018Between the Ditches\u2019 &#8211; one of the stand-outs from <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health<\/em> &#8211; already summed it up pretty perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Top has implied he won&#8217;t be dropping any new music in 2026, it feels like the timing of his \u201cbig news\u201d teaser and the new \u2018He Said She Said\u2019 snippet dropping can&#8217;t be a mere coincidence. We&#8217;re wondering if Top is readying a deluxe version of <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health<\/em>, to help give the original project an extra boost. <\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of months left before the CMA Awards 2026 eligibility window closes in June. Top will surely be eyeing up an Album of the Year nod, and a little additional hype courtesy of a deluxe could be handy in persuading the CMA voters. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Kimes Ranch Jeans also joined in on the teasing, sharing a picture of Top with the caption \u201cZach Top x Kimes Ranch&#8230;Something&#8217;s Coming&#8230;\u201d This could indicate that Kimes will be one of the lead sponsors on the \u2018Use Me\u2019 crooner&#8217;s 2026 tour. Equally, Kimes is a longtime partner of Top&#8217;s, and this could simply be a hint that a new collaboration is dropping &#8211; but the timing <em>definitely<\/em> feels pointed. <\/p>\n<p>\n          <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW2EG6LiRwF\/embed\" width=\"400\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n        <\/p>\n<p>While we think new music is definitely on the cards here, we suspect the <em>likeliest<\/em> reason behind Top&#8217;s \u201cbig news\u201d post, however, is that he&#8217;s gearing up to announce a tour.<\/p>\n<p>Top has a smattering of shows lined up this year, but they&#8217;re all either festival appearances or supporting slots on Chris Stapleton&#8217;s <em>All-American Road Show tour<\/em>. Given he made a point of saying to <em>Holler<\/em> in February that he&#8217;s keen to tour <em>Ain&#8217;t In It For My Health <\/em>throughout the year, we&#8217;d be very surprised if Top doesn&#8217;t add a headlining summer run &#8211; and perhaps this is the announcement he&#8217;s teasing. <\/p>\n<p>The decision to point fans towards his mailing list adds strength to this suspicion, with fans presumably needing to sign up in order to gain access to a 2026 tour pre-sale. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re hoping that we&#8217;ll get two treats for the price of one, and that if a 2026 tour announcement from Top is imminent, he&#8217;ll accompany this with news of a deluxe version of <em>Ain&#8217;t It It For My Health<\/em>. Either way, we&#8217;ll know more before the week is out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more on Zach Top, see below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"_artistsAndContributors_mt1s9_409\">\n<div class=\"_artistsMainWrapper_mt1s9_417\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/holler.country\/artists\/zach-top\/\" class=\"_author_1sgyv_1\"><span class=\"_authorImage_1sgyv_20\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source holler.country \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach Top has dropped a major hint via Instagram that he has something exciting on the horizon, with fans speculating that this could either mean new music or a major tour.
