@timmcgraw How awesome is this #coffeecover by @Alexandra Kay! Cheers to starting off the week right!
Kay has previously covered several songs such as Dolly Parton's "Jolene," which led her to a million views across her social media platforms. Through her website, it is noted that Kay's voice has been compared to Lee Ann Womack, Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton, which McGraw agrees with. In the video, he even says, "I love her voice," and continued, "see if my coffee turns out as good as the way she sings this song."
Believe it or not, her success does run deeper than just singing on TikTok and Instagram. CMT has decided to share her in an upcoming episode of their new digital series, Viral To Verified. So yes, it's safe to say she's going to go far!
