Lynch has been a staple on the country music scene since his debut in January of 2012.
In honor of his birthday, we take a look at some facts of the always smiling country singer, things you should know.

At one point in 2016, Kelly Osbourne had a crush on him and declared to Entertainment Tonight that she and he were “dating.” It was not true as Dustin later confirmed. They met at Stagecoach.
