England's football captain, Harry Kane, has a notable passion for country music, influencing the soundtrack within the team's World Cup base in Kansas City. According to defender Dan Burn, Kane frequently chooses country tunes when given access to the hotel's record player.
Harry is a big fan of country music. There's a record player in the hotel, and when the captain picks the music, a lot of it is country.
"Harry is a big fan of country music," Burn shared during a press conference. "There's a record player in the hotel, and when the captain picks the music, a lot of it is country."
Kane's musical preferences extended beyond the hotel. During a day off, he, Burn, and reserve goalkeeper Jason Steele attended a concert by rising country star Ella Langley in Independence. Burn described the outing, humorously noting his own attire: "I was the only one with a cowboy hat and jeans โ the full works."
We were asked if we wanted to go see Ella Langley. I was the only one with a cowboy hat and jeans โ the full works.
While Burn arrived slightly late and missed meeting Langley, Kane and Steele had the opportunity to greet the artist before the show. Kane later shared photos from the event on Instagram, expressing his gratitude to Langley for the performance. The concert concluded early for the English trio, as they had to adhere to a curfew, missing the final three songs, which Burn lamented were Langley's best.
Nice to meet you Ella Langley thanks for letting us come! Great show carry on!
