You might know Trace Adkins from his high-energy shows filled with hits like “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and “Hillbilly Bone.” Or his burgeoning acting career that includes roles in Bennett’s War and I Can Only Imagine. Or even just by his playful banter with pal Blake Shelton, who officiated his wedding to Victoria Pratt. Well, prepare to get to know him better. His story is being told on MTV’s Behind the Music.

Trace will walk viewers through the highs and lows of his career, but will also tell the story of his struggles with alcohol, a near-fatal shooting, a house fire, his run on Celebrity Apprentice and more. Family and friends, including Blake and Trace’s former label president, Mike Dungan, share their experiences of working with and befriending the country star.

Behind the Music is airing now on Paramount+.
