Country Singer Pauses Concert To Sign a Flying Corndog—Yes, You Read That Right

Ian Munsick has given out a lot of autographs throughout his career, but one was more memorable than the rest. During an appearance on Taste of Country Nights, the country singer revealed that he once signed a corndog.

“A few years ago at the Iowa State Fair was the craziest thing I’ve ever autographed while on stage,” he recalled. “I autographed a corndog. It had ketchup on it and all the stuff, and I was like, ‘Man, only at the Iowa State Fair do you autograph a corndog.’”

Not only was the item unusual, but it was also thrown onstage during his performance. Munsick said he took the interruption to his set in stride. He simply picked up the corndog from the stage and signed it.

Ian Munsick on Making Music and Going on Tour

Ian Munsick’s reveal came months after the release of his latest album, Eagle Feather.

“I always try to be as original as I can,” he recently told People. “Especially in country music, we have a bad habit of trying to do what’s trending right now. I’ve never really been interested in that.”

He’s busy on the road this summer, and that won’t change in the fall. Munsick is set to open for Cody Johnson on his Leather Deluxe Tour beginning in September.

Whenever fans attend one of Munsick’s shows, they can be rest assured that they’ll be entertained.

“There’re times to be real. There’re times to hit your heart. But at the end of the day, we’re all here to have a good time for the next 90 minutes,” he told the outlet. “Country music is supposed to be about having a good time.”

That’s always held true for Ian Munsick, who discovered as a kid that the only time his stutter would disappear was when he took the stage.

“It was the only time that I was fluent,” he said. “I didn’t know if it was God or what, but it just felt like I’m supposed to be up here because I can communicate what I want to say. And just the older I’ve gotten, the more I realize that it is God, and that that is where he wants me to be.”
