A beautiful moment. As one of the best and brightest stars flying out of Oklahoma in the red dirt scene, it’s hard to point to a more important artist in the genre right now than Wyatt Flores. After breaking out back in 2023 thanks to the continued success of his 2022 platinum single, “Please Don’t Go,” and other viral hits such as “Losing Sleep” and “Break My Bones,” the 24-year-old singer/songwriter stunned everyone upon the release of his debut album, Welcome To The Plains, last October. If there’s one thing that can be gathered throughout Flores’ journey as both an artist and human being, it’s the simple fact that he has a huge heart. Whether it’s his intense focus on mental health, notably taking a break from touring earlier this year and sharing his battles through tracks such as “I Believe in God” and “Oh Susannah,” or his reverence for his homestate of Oklahoma, it’s clear that the “Milwaukee” singer never forgets to show love to those closest to him. That was put on full display recently when Flores performed the Turnpike Troubadours‘ classic, “Diamonds & Gasoline,” during his best friend’s wedding over the weekend. Taking to Instagram today, Flores would congratulate both Conner and Kayli Powell in a post highlighting moments from the wedding. In the caption, the Oklahoma native would reflect on the impact the couple have had on him the past four years they’ve known each other, noting that he wouldn’t be the same person without them. “Congratulations to the Powell’s who have been my best friends for the last four years it’s been incredible to watch them meet each other, fall in love, and choose forever together. I would not be who I am without them and I am so grateful to have them in my life and to be a part of theirs.” View this post on Instagram Last night, however, he also uploaded his heartfelt performance of “Diamonds & Gasoline” during the Powell’s first dance, and it was nothing short of spectacular. View this post on Instagram Of course, “Diamonds & Gasoline” has often been named one of Turnpike’s signature songs in their discography. Penned independently by frontman, Evan Felker, the track appears on their 2010 debut album of the same name. And while it’s hard to point to where the song peaks due to Felker’s world-class songwriting, it’s hard to argue that the chorus, which is exactly what Flores himself uploaded in the Instagram post, isn’t one of the most poignant depictions of love and dedication found in any track produced in the 21st century. “And I would buy for you a diamondOr myself some gasolineIf I can’t afford you darlin’Then I can’t afford to dreamAnd is it time I should be movin’?Is it time I settle down?Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a-spinnin’ ’round?” It’s hard to even imagine the emotions that both Wyatt, Conner and Kayli were all going through during the moment. It’s safe to say, however, that hearing your best friend perform one of the finest love songs ever written during your first dance is a hard moment to ever top. While you’re here, fire up Turnpike’s timeless original version.
