Why didn’t he sing Rocky Top?

Nolan revealed that he didn’t want to sing “Rocky Top” because it’s a Tennessee song, and his loyalty to Georgia prevented him from doing so. He also revealed that he didn’t even sing the song during his practice and never will.

“It was an after-school program, a winter program, and our music teacher had us sing a whole bunch of songs,” Nolan said. And one of those songs was Rocky Top, sadly. I’m never going to sing that trash.”

When asked about the specific reason why he won’t sing Rocky Top, Nolan replied, “I don’t know, it’s a horrible song.”

Nolan, upon seeing his own clip that went viral, in which he looked mad and uninterested, revealed that he didn’t want to go and sing the other three songs. “Yeah. I didn’t want to go and sing the other three songs.”

But he made sure to finish the sound with a strong message, booing “Woo!” to show his hatred.
