Brett Eldredge is done with the smart phone....for now. He says he can’t stand being at dinner with people and them constantly being on their phones not focused on the conversation.

He says he wants to “stay in the moment.”

Brett talked about his old cell phole (flip phone) and said "I would carry it everywhere I went but never look at it to check the never ending 'Breaking News' or constantly compare my life to someone else's."

To start 2019, I am going to go back in time to 2002. That was the year I got my first color flip phone with a lil megapixel camera on it...I felt like a bad ass...I would carry it everywhere I went but never look at it to check the never ending “Breaking News” or constantly compare my life to someone else’s...I wouldn’t sit at the dinner table and be halfway paying attention to my buddies convo’s because I was watching someone’s story about how good, or bad they were at “Flossing” or how quick someone could chug a bottle of vodka and do a triple backflip into a pool...I was there, in the moment, with my friends, with life...Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of amazing things about a smart phone...but I gotta take a moment to experiment and see what it’s like to be here, RIGHT NOW, lost in the music and not in a screen...if ya need me, I’ll be on the T9 text machine...here goes the #FlipPhoneChallnege Happy new year! Love Brett
