Sam Hunt rose to fame thanks to his 2017 hit, Montevallo, and he's been praised for being able to successfully straddle the bridge between the country music genre and the pop music genre. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of his sophomore album.

Hunt tied the knot with Hannah Lee Fowler in April of 2017. The couple are basically the picture-perfect image of an adorable celebrity couple. Whenever they step out into the public eye, they always appear to be utterly flawless.

Even though Hunt seems like a decent sort of fellow, some people aren’t always what they seem...and this includes the country star.

Curious to learn how Hunt can be kind of sketchy? Read on to find out the less-palatable, less-cutesy side of the Montevallo singer.

20 The Singer Recently Got Arrested For DUI

USA Today pointed out that Hunt was arrested recently (in late November of 2019) on DUI charges, after people saw that he had a difficult time keeping his car in one lane.

The police charged him with both DUI and an open can violation, after arresting him in Davidson County. He was granted a $2,500 bond.

19 Multiple Drivers Called The Cops Before They Caught Him

Fox News writes that at least three drivers called 911 after they saw how Hunt was driving in late November, 2019.

In the audio transcript, the callers pointed out that a car was driving southbound, in a lane full of cars that were all driving north. To top it off, Hunt weaved in and out of several lanes before he was arrested.

18 Hunt Is Due Back In Court In January

After Hunt was arrested, he managed to cough up the dough for the $2,500 bail, and was released from the jail he was in.

Sadly, Fox News writes that the country singer is going to have to go to court on January 17th, 2020, and face a judge due to his foolish actions.

17 Embarrassed His Wife By Naming A Song After Her Hometown

According to US Magazine, Hunt’s now-wife, Hannah, was furious when she found out that he had named his 2014 album, Montevallo, after her hometown.

In an attempt to make up for his major faux pas, Hunt took to his guitar and wound up writing the song, Drinkin’ Too Much, as an apology.

16 Used To Constantly Share Pictures Of His Shy Wife Online

US Weekly adds that, while Hannah can be quite shy and doesn’t really like to expose her face in photos that her boyfriend takes, Hunt can be a little bit clueless.

Despite the fact that her body language screams. “I don’t like this at all,” Hunt has posted several of these photos online.

15 Snuck Into Small Airports

Country Fancast notes that, while Hunt’s wife Hannah may be a bit camera-shy on occasion, she’s certainly up for a little adventure.

Both Hunt and Hannah used to sneak inside a small airport on multiple occasions, until they were busted by the cops. Of course, Hunt wrote a song about it, called "Cop Car".

14 The Name Of His Horse Is Racist

Country Fancast reports that, when Hunt was younger, he used to own a Mustang (a horse, not a car) and named his new pet, Comanche.

Needless to say, given how the Native Americans had suffered and are still going through tough times today, this reeks of cultural appropriation and insensitivity.

13 Can Sound A Bit Like He's Ungrateful For His Fame

In an interview with CMT News, the singer came off as a bit ungrateful for all of his success, when he complained about needing a “drastic change of pace and lifestyle” once he became a hit.

Sure, fame isn’t always fun, but there’s plenty of other people that would love to trade places with him, so hush up, my dude.

12 Hates Talking About His Music

CMT News notes that Hunt is also not a big fan of talking about his music constantly. He’ll even get up and leave the room if someone is playing one of his songs.

Doing interviews isn’t always fun and games, but being asked about one’s music (and having to listen to it) comes with the territory, buddy.

11 Made Snarky Remarks When It Was Said That His Music Was In Pop Genre

In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hunt wasn’t thrilled about being placed in the pop genre and quickly shut down that notion with a snarky comment.

The singer pointed out that he is “firmly in the country genre”, and doesn’t know how he could ever be considered a “pop act” in the first place.

10 Purposely Fell Off The Radar And Went Radio Silent

Hunt became an immediate success in the world of country music, and it seems as if his star will rise even higher once he releases a sophomore album.

The Boot points out that, right after the singer got married, he purposely “fell off the face of the Earth” and his poor fans were desperate for news of a new album.

9 Tried To Procrastinate Recording A Second Album

The Boot also points out that, while Hunt tries to spin it as, “he took time off to get married and process his rapid rise to fame,” it rings as a poor excuse for procrastination.

Here’s hoping that, once the second album gets released, the singer won’t need to “reboot” for a couple of years before the third one arrives.

8 Made Hannah Take Seven Trips To Hawaii To Get Her Hand In Marriage

According to The Boot, Hunt’s now-wife, Hannah, was a bit leery of tying the knot with her boyfriend.

Instead of giving her time to process it, he arranged for them to take seven trips to Hawaii in order to convince her to marry him, and she agreed after the last one. Can we say sketchy?

7 Hunt Had A Rocky Relationship With His Wife In The Beginning

The Boot also points out that things weren’t always as rosy as they are now between Sam Hunt and his wife, Hannah.

The singer’s relationship with his wife was very frazzled when they were dating, and they were constantly breaking up and then making up. That doesn’t bode well for their marriage.

6 His Wife Had To Make Many Sacrifices For Him

Romantic relationships, whether they are in the dating phase or in the marriage phase, should ideally be about equality.

In an interview with AOL, Hunt admits that his wife had to make a lot of sacrifices for him and his career. My dude, you better book another trip to Hawaii for her, ASAP!

5 He's A Fan Of The Rapper Drake Who Has Done Some Things That Are So Not Cool

In a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” thread, Hunt admitted that he is often inspired by the rapper, Drake, who has come under fire recently.

According to Esquire, a video surfaced that showed Drake getting too up close and personal with a 17-year-old fan who was onstage with him, before making a very inappropriate joke.

4 Body Like A Back Road Is Sexist

Saving Country Music points out that some fans of the genre are trying their best to support singers that aren’t the “typical bros”. Typical bros often come up with some very problematic songs.

Hunt’s "Body Like A Backroad" is not only sexist as all heck, it's also incredibly skeevy.

3 Hunt's Music Can Be Too Repetitive

When Sam Hunt was nominated for a Grammy Award for his song, "Body Like A Back Road", it caused a bit of controversy.

Hunt might be talented, but The Huffington Post notes the song itself has been described as “a horrific number” that feels like “an experiment to see how easy it is to make the top of the charts.”

2 Bragging About His Wife's Humanitarian Mission

CMT writes that, after Hunt got hitched, he and his wife decided to spend their first winter holiday as newlyweds volunteering in Honduras.

Hunt couldn’t resist constantly posting about what his wife was doing, which, in all honesty, made him look like something of a braggart. Not a good look!

1 Fudged The Truth About Visiting Montevallo

Sam Hunt’s first album was named after an Alabama town called Montevallo, and many fans erroneously believed that he spent a lot of time there.

In an interview with E!Online, Hunt revealed that he had fudged the truth a bit...and never actually visited the town. He only named the album after the town because it is his now-wife’s hometown.
