The Crushin' It World Tour was the tenth headlining concert tour by American country music singer Brad Paisley and is in support of his tenth studio album Moonshine in the Trunk (2014). It began on May 15, 2015, in Camden, New Jersey and finished on March 12, 2016, in Bloomington, Illinois. The tour played through amphitheaters and festivals across the United States and Canada.

Background The tour was first announced in February 2015, through Paisley's website. Opening up for Paisley for most of the dates were Justin Moore and Mickey Guyton. Inspiration for the tour's name comes from Paisley's current single, "Crushin' It". Dates for the second leg were announced on October 20, 2015.

Concert synopsis The show began with a thirty-second countdown clock to "happy hour", then Paisley emerges on stage. During "Time Warp", Paisley invited a young a fan to come on stage and play Mario Kart, which was shown on the video screen. For the first leg of the show Paisley sang "I'm Still a Guy" with Justin Moore and "Whiskey Lullaby" with Micky Guyton, then closed the show with both first-leg opening acts during "Alcohol".

Stage production The stage was two levels; back behind was sixty-foot video screen, and in the middle of the audience was B-stage. Also on stage is a functioning bar where VIP fans and contest winners can sit during the show.
