Kenny Chesney: His Super Bowl Ring Count
Kenny Chesney is not a pro football player, but he has more than one Super Bowl ring. The country superstar appeared on The Rich Eisen Show over the Super Bowl weekend and shared that he has not only one Super Bowl ring but two.
Kenny explained, “I’m dear friends with [NFL coach] Sean Payton. So, fast forward seven years, the New Orleans Saints, my really good friend Sean Payton is in Super Bowl against my friend Payton Manning. The thing I remember about that day is I had my dad with me, a bunch of my friends, and some of dad’s friends, and we’re all on my bus.”
He continues, “So we leave South Beach, and we’re taking that hike out to where the Super Bowl was. And all of a sudden I get a text from Sean and he goes, ‘I think I see your bus,’ and I look and I swear to God… This was such a great moment in Sean and I’s my friendship. The Saints team bus pulled up right beside my bus, and we rolled into the Super Bowl together.
He concluded, “You fast forward a couple of months later, and I’m at Sean’s place down on the Gulf Coast, and because of that moment, I’m sure of it, he gave me a Super Bowl ring. So, I have a New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Ring.”

When Rich asked him if that was the only Super Bowl ring he had, Chesney replied, “It’s not the only one. [New England Patriots owner] Robert Kraft gave me one. Robert had 283 diamonds on it.”
Chesney will release his first book, Heart, Life, Music, on November 4. The book will be a take on the superstar’s journey from a small-town East Tennessee dreamer to commanding the largest stages across the nation.
Kenny said in a statement, “This is not my memoir, but something far better. It is almost a love letter to people who shaped and inspired me, the fans who’ve been there from tiny bars, radio stations who believed when nobody else did, a team who just kept coming back, legends who gave me wisdom and opportunities and all the friends who’ve been there along the way.”
He added, “To me, that’s where the music came from – and this is the story of how it turned into the soundtrack for the way No Shoes Nation lives their lives, too.”
