Pittsburgh went a little bit country on Saturday, and Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was riding shotgun on the twang train. In a special guest appearance that surely delighted the crowd, Wilson hopped on stage with the Zac Brown Band during Kenny Chesney’s concert at Acrisure Stadium. The NFL star showed his team pride in a steel city way, bestowing upon Zac Brown a Steelers jersey sporting his own number 3, as reported by CBS News Pittsburgh.

Draped in the gifted jersey, Brown and the band ignited fans with their music, while Wilson’s appearance added that extra bit of hometown hype. Coming to town for his annual show on the North Shore, Chesney played host to Wilson, who seems to be soaking up the Pittsburgh scene since his signing. With his latest stunt, Russell Wilson continues to endear himself to the Pittsburgh faithful, “Welcome to the Burgh! Black & Yellow looks good on you! Amazing Concert,” the quarterback posted to X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, according to a SteelersNOW.com report.

Known for its die-hard sports fans, Pittsburgh is witnessing Wilson’s integration into the local fabric through more than just football. Since his arrival, Wilson has been spotted supporting other local teams and even spreading cheer at UPMC Children’s Hospital, as WPXI reported.

The evening’s line-up included not only the Zac Brown Band but also Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker, as the “Sun Goes Down Tour” brought Nashville’s flavor to the city of steel. Behind the scenes, Wilson’s gesture showed a personal touch with the band playing a role, joining a series of civic-minded appearances since inking the deal with the Steelers. The country circus is set to roll on with Chesney leading the charge, as he directs his tour bus to Cuyahoga Falls and then across Pennsylvania to Philadelphia next, according to SteelersNOW.com.
