"I don't think I ever feel sexy. I don't think that's for me to decide, if I'm sexy or not"
About this Quote
The second sentence does the real work. “That’s for me to decide” flips into “that’s not for me to decide,” handing the verdict back to the audience. Chesney is naming something a lot of public figures understand but rarely articulate: sexiness is relational. It’s not an internal setting you switch on; it’s a story other people project onto you, shaped by camera angles, tabloid framing, and whatever the crowd wants from the night. By declining to claim it, he also dodges the ego-trap of asserting it. There’s a strategic humility here, but also a kind of boundaries talk: you can look, you can feel what you feel, but you don’t get to make him responsible for performing that identity on demand.
In context, it fits his broader persona - approachable, everyman-adjacent, allergic to pretense - and it helps explain why his music sells a vibe of freedom rather than a fantasy of domination. The sex appeal is there; he’s just insisting it isn’t his job to narrate it.
