Hunter Hayes is work­ing on get­ting his pilot’s license. The CMA’s reign­ing New Artist of the Year reveals that in what lit­tle free time he has, he’s work­ing on mas­ter­ing the friendly skies. “I’ve got tons of hours on a flight sim­u­la­tor,” Hunter says. “Any­time I can go fly for a few hours, I go. It’s stress­ful and stress-relieving at the same time.”
