Johnny Orlando turned 21 years old on Wednesday (Jan. 24), and the singer stopped by Billboard this week to talk about his exciting year ahead, all while showing off his sleek merch collection inspired by his The Ride album.
Merch products available to shop in the livestream below include a “Ride or Die” trucker hat, a butterfly-decorated t-shirt or hoodie, and a fun, Dickies-inspired jacket with Orlando’s tattoos embroidered throughout the piece.
“My grandma died and then I saw a bunch of butterflies, which I think is supposed to mean something,” Orlando said of the butterfly imagery throughout his merch. “I’m trying to put my face and name on things less. I wear artist merch if it’s cool.”
The star, who is gearing up to head out on a European tour this spring, said that he loves the continent because “it’s so different and so cool. I love the road signs. I love the trees, it’s sick. People are great. The concerts are insane, and the crowds are insane.”
He’s also hoping to head back to North America for another tour. “There’s an exceedingly good chance that I’ll be doing shows in North America this year, it just won’t be The Ride tour. A new era.”
