We’re COUNTRY and NEVER apologize for it
This man had a simple request.
Gavin Adcock asked Kacey Musgraves to borrow her set of hanging disco balls that are part of her stage production. He said, “I’ve got a giant bull skull that’s about 20 foot by 20 foot.
I think she should let me borrow them things so I can hang some nuts on this bull. Let me know Kacey.”
As of now, she still hasn’t responded. Can someone call her or something?
It’s friends are for.
Lainey Wilson’s husband, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, says his friends want him to set them up with Ella Langley. He said, “I feel bad because I gave all these guys false hope that if I did it, they can do it.”
Duck adds that Lainey jokes with him that he’s gotten famous twice now. Once with the Steelers and once by being with her. And she ain’t lying about that.
Here we go.
It’s official: The “Sand in My Boots Festival” will return to Gulf Shores in May 2027.
Event organizers made the announcement via social media, that Morgan Wallen’s festival will return to the Gulf Shores of Alabama May 21st-23rd in 2027.
In a separate press release, it stated…
“Presented by Morgan, alongside AEG Presents, the music festival and beach vacation will once again invite fans into Morgan’s world, bringing together his favorite artists, musical influences, and personally curated experiences against the backdrop of the Alabama coast,”
And Morgan said, “one thing I’m looking forward to the most about bringing Sand In My Boots Festival back is being able to have new concepts on stage and trying to elevate the experience overall for the fans, myself and other artists on the bill…
I think it’s going to be really top-notch and we’re going to try to do it even better this time.”
We still don’t know the lineup…but that won’t stop people from going into debt starting now. And according to the site, hotel packages bundle festival passes with lodging, shuttle passes and merchandise. That of course left the price of standalone passes undefined.
Package deal prices on the site start at $300.91 per person per night for General Admission. According to the site, a 5% booking fee applies to all package deals. Please visit sandinmybootsfest.com for details.
Halloween is usually considered more of a kids’ holiday than adults’…but some adults want to claim it for themselves, especially if they can get a day off work for it.
In a new, annual poll, 70% of Americans say they believe Halloween is as much for adults as it is for children. That’s up from 62% last year. And 81% of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown-ups too. That’s up from 71%. Which fills my heart.
58% of people take that a step further, and think Halloween should be a national holiday, like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day. And 78% of Gen Z’ers agree with that.
53% of people said Halloween is their favorite holiday. Supposedly, this is the first year the percentage has crossed 50%.
And it’s getting so crazy that some adults don’t want to share it with children anymore. 62% of people say they believe adults deserve their own, adult Halloween night. That’s up from 54% last year too.
No one should be surprised by this. Especially considering how his video for the “Worst Way” got 59 million views…and counting.
Riley Green has been featured in People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, where the 38-year-oid was dubbed “Country’s Hottest Cowboy”. I’ve seen his stage on tour…and he’s got a lot of bras hanging up there. Mainly from women who can’t help themselves from having to throw their bras at him while he’s performing. Riley is lucky he hasn’t lost an eye yet to be honest.
He previously won the title of “Sexiest Country Star” in People’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Poll after receiving 350,000 votes, beating out contenders like Cody Johnson, Shaboozey and Warren Zeiders.
He is included in the 2026 Sexiest Men Alive feature alongside his busy career milestones, including his album “That’s Just Me”, his role as a coach on season 30 of The Voice, and his acting stint on the “Yellowstone” spinoff “Marshals”.
At 38, Riley is still currently single ladies and admits that balancing a fast-paced touring and television schedule makes dating a challenge.
She’s like the female version of Elvis when it comes to making money in her afterlife now.
Dolly Parton left another gift for fans. According to “Page Six Hollywood”, a secret posthumous memoir from reportedly sold for $13 million in a, “wild, heated bidding war.”
All details are currently unknown, like when she wrote it, what it’s about, or when it’ll come out. And my memoir would probably sell for $13 dollars tops. I least I hope it would.
Lady A’s Charles Kelley shared a health update since sharing his cancer diagnosis.
In case you’re unaware, he has a rare type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Charles actually announced the unfortunate news of his diagnosis in September that he’d been diagnosed with multiple myeloma.
In an Instagram stories post on Monday, October 26th, Charles opened up about experiencing both “good days” and “bad days.” He said the treatment is working, but the drugs have been hard on his body.
He said, “it’s kind of constantly achey and really tired…I’m hoping that as the chemo gets in there and fights off these cancer cells that my bones and everything will actually feel a lot better over the next few weeks.”
I hate how the treatments can make people feel miserable…but it’s good to hear the treatment is working for him.
Charles’ wife Cassie also shared an update of her own to her Instagram stories on October 26th and said, “when people ask, ‘How are you doing?’ Honestly, the answer’s not great. We are not doing great over here. But we’re doing our best and one of my favorite sayings in Al-Anon is, ‘Your best is always good enough.’ So like, it’s good enough…today was not great but tomorrow is treatment four and I will find things to be grateful for tomorrow for sure.”
Luke Bryan almost didn’t record his 2012 hit, “Drunk on You”…and he had a good reason too.
He was worried that the line…“girl, you make my speakers go boom boom”…sounded too cheesy. But he didn’t want to be disrespectful and change the lyrics.
He said, “I had people in my world sit me down and go, ‘You got to let go of this ‘boom boom’ thing.'”
Jason Aldean was actually offered the song first, but passed on it because he didn’t think it fit his vibe. Of course, he regrets passing it up now.
Tomorrow, Saturday (10/31/26), is Halloween!
