To commemorate the inking of Brian Kelley as a solo artist to Big Machine, the erstwhile Florida Georgia Line co-founder sat with label boss Scott Borchetta for a good old-fashioned signing pic. Kelley, whose catalog has reached the vertiginous diamond tier of sales, will drop new album American Spirit on 7/1, just in time for a certain annual celebration. Shortly after this pic was snapped, an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani showed up and offered to "make this whole contract thing go away."

Naturally, on such a momentous occasion, there were quotes.

“Everyone at Big Machine gives a giant and warm welcome-back to Brian Kelley,” reads a testament from Borchetta. “Our results together are historic, and we look forward to building on this incredible foundation as BK enters an extremely creative season with us.”

“It feels good to be home at Big Machine with Scott Borchetta and the team! Their work ethic, heart, creativity, and commitment to winning is what led me back,” goes a quote attributed to Kelley. “We’ve worked so well together on many successful projects in the past, and I couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter. I’m grateful for this opportunity and honored to collaborate with Scott again! Off to the races!”
