If you’ve watched Tyler Hubbard’s new music video for his song “35’s,” you may be wondering if the time capsule he dug up in the video was a real artifact from the singer’s past — and sure enough, it is.
On social media, Tyler offers fans a “show-and-tell” of the capsule, which he made and buried when he was “8 or 9 years old,” he says.
The first thing in the box is a Bible, which is fitting: Tyler says the Bible is still as important to him today as it was during his childhood. Also in the box are toys, including a miniature car. “This is a fun little reminder of who I was as a kid,” the singer says, unboxing the car. “I love cars, anything with motors. I love speed.”
Then there are a couple of childhood photos, including one of 6-year-old Tyler at a motocross racing event, and another of him and his father. “This is a special photo of me and my dad when I was super young,” he explains. “I lost my dad when I was 20, so we had a lot more years together, but this photo takes me back to just good times, having fun with him.”
Other artifacts include a Blackhawk CD and a note that he wrote as a kid to his 35-year-old self — which just so happens to be the age that Tyler is now.
“It was just a reminder to stay young and remember where you came from and make sure you stay rooted in your values, and who you know you are,” the singer reflects.
