Jordan Davis is set to make his debut appearance on ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday and he says appearing on GMA is the one thing that would convince his grandmother he’s a successful recording artist, even though he’s scored two number one songs and several awards nominations.

He tells us, “That’s the text message that kind of gives you chill bumps when you look and see you’re getting a chance to do something like Good Morning America. To be honest with ya, in the eyes of my grandmother, I’ve officially made it. In her eyes, I’m on GMA, I might as well be in the Musicians Hall of Fame over here, you know?”

Jordan was recently named Billboard’s Top New Country Artist of 2018 and is currently on the road with Old Dominion as part of the Make It Sweet Tour with upcoming stops in Madison, Wisconsin, St. Louis, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska. He’ll join Rascal Flatts on the road in July.
